About me
I am kind, non-judgmental, accepting with a very diverse background. My name is Fquira, pronounced "Keera. " That is literally, Kera, with an F, how unique is that? I have an appreciation for all people as unique individuals, with various types of life challenges. Im here for the challenge. Helping minds heal and lives transform has been a true reward of doing what I do in therapy. I am here to help you.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, I will focus on learning your perspective of the challenges that brought you to therapy. There will be an exploration of your life, functional capacity, social aspects and your strengths. We will identify what you want to achieve through therapy.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
I use a lot of different evidence-based practices and interventions, including, but not limited to, Transactional Analysis, Emotional regulation, CBT, mindfulness, and more. I work to get to know the person I am working with and tailor their treatment to their needs. I specialize in working with children, adults and couples.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths are compassion, creativity and helping people feel valued. Our current society can cause us to feel pressured to present ourselves in a particular way, to be accepted. This can happen at any age. So, promoting self-worth, self-esteem and positive self-view is an important part of the process.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am committed to serve those who want to see changes in their lives, and benefit from knowing exactly what we are partnering to work towards and how we will get things done. If you want to feel accepted, appreciated, motivated, and strengthened despite any challenges, I am the person for you.

**Thank you, Grow Therapy, for providing this platform.** I’ve been struggling to find a therapist I truly felt comfortable with, but from the very beginning, Kera was warm, welcoming, and attentive. She created a safe space where I felt heard and never judged. I was especially impressed by her thoughtful and compassionate approach. I believe this will be a meaningful and rewarding journey that will help guide me toward a healthier mindset and life.

I am so glad I found Kera. She is very easy to talk to, kind, intelligent, funny and a very good listener. She is great at what she does and makes you feel comfortable. I look forward to our weekly sessions.
