Find Your Counselor

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.

Life can feel overwhelming, heavy, and uncertain at times—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up as your authentic self and feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a safe environment where healing, growth, and self-discovery can unfold at your own pace. I’m here to walk alongside you and support you through life’s challenges. As a bilingual and bicultural (Spanish-English) Latina therapist, I am passionate about creating a therapeutic space that honors your identity, culture, and lived experiences. I understand how meaningful it is to feel welcomed and represented in therapy. Whether you’re seeking extra support, working through past experiences, or hoping to strengthen your coping skills, we will build a collaborative relationship centered on your goals and needs. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and tailored to each individual. I integrate evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, and Brainspotting to support healing and emotional well-being. I am also certified in domestic violence training and have experience supporting survivors with sensitivity, empowerment, and care. Reaching out for therapy takes courage. It would be an honor to hear your story and support you on your healing journey. 

La vida puede sentirse abrumadora e incierta en ocasiones, y no tienes que atravesarla solo/a. Ofrezco un espacio cálido, de apoyo y sin juicios donde puedes presentarte tal como eres y sentirte verdaderamente visto/a, escuchado/a y comprendido/a. Mi objetivo es crear un ambiente seguro donde la sanación, el crecimiento y el autodescubrimiento puedan desarrollarse a tu propio ritmo. Estoy aquí para acompañarte y apoyarte en los desafíos de la vida. Como terapeuta Latina bilingüe y bicultural (español-inglés), me apasiona crear un espacio que honre tu identidad, cultura y experiencias. Ya sea que busques apoyo adicional, estés trabajando experiencias pasadas o quieras fortalecer tus habilidades de afrontamiento, construiremos una relación colaborativa centrada en tus metas y necesidades. Utilizo un enfoque compasivo e informado en trauma, integrando terapias basadas en evidencia como CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR y Brainspotting. También cuento con certificación en violencia doméstica y experiencia apoyando a sobrevivientes con sensibilidad y cuidado. Será un honor escuchar tu historia y acompañarte en tu proceso de sanación.

Every story carries sacred significance, intricately woven with threads of culture, heritage, courage, pain, and personal history. As an Asian-American therapist, I understand the importance of representation in therapy and the power of being truly seen. Many of my clients come in feeling disconnected from who they are or unsure of how their experiences have shaped them. I use a person-centered and trauma-informed lens approach to guide our work together, honoring your story while incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support practical growth and emotional understanding. If you are ready to explore your story—untangling what no longer serves you and strengthening the threads that sustain you—I invite you to reach out. Together, we can weave a path toward healing, growth, and a deeper connection to your authentic self.
