Hi and welcome! I'm Kiara, and I'm so glad you're here. One of the hardest parts of starting therapy is taking that first step and choosing to show up for yourself. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, navigating a major life transition, or simply looking for a space to better understand yourself, you've already done something meaningful by being here. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. This is a space where we can slow down, explore what has brought you here, and move forward together at a pace that feels right for you.
I've had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, young adults, and older adults through some of life's most challenging moments. My experience includes supporting individuals and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, and relationship and family conflict. I've also worked alongside older adults as they process loss, adapt to changes that come with aging, and rediscover purpose in new chapters of life. Through each experience, one thing has remained true: healing looks different for everyone.
Whatever brings you here, we don't have to figure it out alone. Together, we'll make sense of what's been weighing on you, better understand the experiences and patterns that have shaped your life, and build practical tools to help you move toward the life you want to create. I look forward to being part of your journey.

Most major insurance plans are accepted here, so cost isn't what's standing between you and feeling better — and we'll handle the paperwork.
Our counselors are trained to help you work through what's hard — not just talk about it. When you're ready, we're ready.
