Are you experiencing any challenges or roadblocks that life is throwing at you right now? Are you in need of a safe sanctuary with non judgmental support through anxieties,fears,or traumas? Do you find it hard to manage your interpersonal relationships, work,and fit in self care? Seeking therapy can feel so scary, it takes so much courage and strength to step out of your comfort zone. My job is to be on the passenger side of your therapy journey, helping you find the answers within, and giving you tools to support you along the way.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Clients can book a free 10-15 minute consultation call to see if we are a fit. Feel free to schedule your intake appointment, and message me so we can collaborate on a day/time that works best. In our first session together, I gather history of symptoms, previous mental health treatment,support systems,cultural and family history,etc. I engage in Rapport building,which is very important to me and collaborate with you to create treatment goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am open minded, empathetic, compassionate,and have a non judgemental approach to care. I can help you find the root of your problems and dive deep to support you with finding the answers within. I like to challenge my clients, but utilizing a gentle approach. I am certified in mindfulness practices and I lean into a holistic/spiritual lens to mental health Care.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

While I welcome and value working with clients from all walks of life, I have a particular passion for serving BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and spiritually or faith-based individuals. I strive to create a safe, affirming, and culturally responsive space where your full identity is seen, respected, and honored. I have a sweet spot for working with teens, millennials, and Gen Z clients who are navigating identity development, transitions, and the complexities of modern life. Supporting these populations in their growth, healing, and empowerment is one of the most meaningful parts of my work. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating a range of emotional and life challenges, including racial trauma, LGBTQ+ discrimination, PTSD, anxiety, depression, postpartum transitions, and self-esteem struggles. My practice also focuses on guiding clients through career-related issues such as workplace stress, burnout, career transitions, and navigating complex professional environments. Many of my clients seek therapy to heal from interpersonal pain,whether it's the aftermath of friendship or relationship breakups, divorce, or patterns of disconnection and conflict. I help clients explore how to set and maintain healthy boundaries, develop effective communication skills, and foster more fulfilling relationships. I am deeply committed to creating an affirming space for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals, and I approach therapy with cultural humility and awareness. My work is grounded in the belief that healing also includes reconnecting with joy, radical rest, and self-love. Together, we will explore how to carve out intentional time for self-care and embrace the practice of radical self-love unapologetically.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I love challenging client's cognitive distortions and rigid belief systems. I like to support clients with seeing things from a different lens. I also love utilizing CBT worksheets during sessions.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I use a mindfulness-based somatic approach to help clients connect their physical sensations with their emotional experiences for deeper healing. I am also certified in mindfulness-based approaches for treating anxiety, trauma, and depression.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

Your culture and identity matter. I approach therapy with cultural humility and sensitivity, ensuring our work reflects who you are and where you come from.

Existential

If you're navigating spiritual questions, searching for meaning, or exploring your place in the world, I offer a supportive space to reflect on these deeper aspects of your experience through an existential and spiritually attuned approach.

Kadrea really stood out to me from the moment I found her online. She was so kind and direct, warm, funny, and I appreciate her holistic approach. She brings something new to therapy that many people need but may not know how to find. I feel very blessed that I found her!
