New to Grow
Hi, I'm Kiera, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, honesty, and practical support. Throughout my career, I have worked in crisis intervention, inpatient behavioral health, addiction treatment, and outpatient therapy, supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, life transitions, and emotional distress. I believe therapy should be a collaborative and judgment-free space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly. My approach combines empathy, accountability, and evidence-based techniques to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and develop healthier coping strategies. Whether you're experiencing a difficult season of life or seeking personal growth, I am committed to helping you move toward meaningful and lasting change.
Our first session is all about understanding your story. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy, the challenges you're currently facing, and what you hope will be different as a result of our work together. I'll ask questions to better understand your background, relationships, coping strategies, and strengths, but there is no pressure to share everything at once. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest and authentic. You don't need to have the right words or a clear plan before starting therapy. We'll work together to identify your goals, explore what's getting in the way, and begin building a path forward that feels right for you.
What sets my approach apart is my willingness to help clients have the hard conversations—both with others and with themselves. Many people come to therapy knowing something needs to change but feeling unsure where to start. I help clients identify patterns, increase self-awareness, and develop practical tools for creating meaningful change. I am known for building rapport quickly, asking thoughtful questions, and balancing empathy with honest feedback. My goal is not only to help clients feel better, but also to help them better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and build confidence in their ability to navigate life's challenges.
