I have provided therapeutic interventions as an outpatient therapist and crisis counselor for 10 years; working with people with acute mental health concerns and people with serious and persistent mental health disorders.

I have worked with people of diverse backgrounds over my career. In helping clients achieve their mental health goals, I acknowledge and support developing a strong therapeutic relationship with my client to best support my clients in developing awareness and skills needed to achieve the therapeutic goals that you set. I believe in a client-centered approach that focuses on interventions that will work best with each, individual client for the best result, based on the beliefs and values of those clients

I understand that people have situations that come up in their lives while working on goals and have, and hope to continue to, help my clients learn skills needed to help manage those problems and increase awareness of how they impact my clients' mental health. I will support you in making changes in your mental health when you are ready to begin.

Life can feel overwhelming at times—especially when anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or struggles with food and body image begin to take over. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with experience working with depression, anxiety, social anxiety, relational issues, grief, disordered eating, and weight management. I offer an empathetic, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe, heard, and respected. My approach is person-centered and uniquely tailored to each client. I believe meaningful change happens within a therapeutic relationship built on trust, collaboration, and understanding. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you and move at a pace that feels right. If you’re considering therapy, I’d be honored to support you.

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.
