Hi, I’m Kiara. I'm so glad you're here! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a National Certified Counselor with a master’s degree in counseling psychology. I have over 10 years experience providing services from various settings. I have worked with individuals ranging from 2 year olds to adults and diverse populations including intellectual disabilities, substance and alcohol disorders and emotional and mental health struggles. I am passionate about helping ambitious adults who struggle with high-functioning anxiety, depression and trauma find freedom from their distress, fears, overthinking and self-doubt. My mission is to help my clients feel more confident in themselves, their decisions, develop better coping skills and live a more fulfilling life. Together, we can explore and identify what is keeping you stuck and work collaboratively to discover effective tools to help you overcome your struggles.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Clients often express how much they feel heard and learn from their sessions. Mostly, client feedback includes a noticed shift in perspective and personal growth. I believe in a trust based relationship and going at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with adults who are motivated to improve their mental health and overall wellbeing. My clients are eager to grow, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, worried and overwhelmed and and want support towards making positive change in their life.
Integrative
My approach is integrative and tailored to meet each client’s unique needs. I am a compassionate therapist that that practices from a multicultural and trauma informed lens. My practice also incorporates elements of evidence-based modalities and techniques that include: person centered, motivational interviewing, strength based, CBT, mindfulness, solution focused, psychodynamic, play therapy and expressive arts.

Really enjoyed my first session with Kiara. She's informative, asks the right questions, and made me feel comfortable being transparent with her. Looking forward to be working with her in the future.
