Hi, I'm Kylie and I have been a therapist for 8 years, and am EMDR Certified. I support people who experience anxiety, symptoms from trauma, and LGBTQ+ issues. I have a two step approach. First I teach people how to regulate themselves in-the-moment. That way they can get back to emotional safety when things are not feeling right. Then I help people find ways to stop what is bothering them before it even starts. That can look like setting a routine that helps reduce anxiety, processing past trauma, surrounding yourself with people that make you feel great, or figuring out what gives your life meaning and helping you do that.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Your first appointment is a time for us to get to know each other and get comfortable. You are invited to say as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. Some people have been waiting for a time to let it all out and just open the verbal and emotional flood gates. Great, I’m down! And some people need time to warm up. To the situation, to me, to their own thoughts and feelings. Great, I’m down! If it’s okay with you, I ask what is bringing you to therapy. Finding out and defining what isn’t working in your life can help both of us better understand what you would like to work towards. It might be something specific like, “I want to stop having panic attacks.” It could be something that feels vague like “I want to be happy.” That’s okay! We can explore what that means for you and find a path from where you are to where you want to be. My goal is for us both to feel like we’re on the same team helping you towards your better life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength is being emotionally present with people and really connecting. I create a safe environment and relationship because you can't be deeply truthful with yourself and heal if your guard is up. I'm sensitive, attuned, but will still (gently) challenge you to grow. With techniques I am EMDR Certified and love using EMDR to help people heal from all kinds of traumas.
