Hi there, I'm Kia!

I'm passionate about helping young people, especially in BIPOC communities, navigate life's challenges with confidence and clarity. I take an individualized, compassionate approach that prioritizes your mental health and personal growth. My goal is to create a safe, empowering space where you can heal, discover yourself, and thrive.

My focus

I work primarily with teenagers and young adults navigating life transitions, identity exploration, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My clients often come feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected. Together we create a safe, affirming space to process experiences, build coping tools, and rediscover confidence.

My approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply individualized. I draw from person-centered principles to ensure you feel heard and in control of your journey. Using psychodynamic insights, we'll explore how your past shapes your present, while trauma-focused techniques help us heal wounds that may be holding you back.
