About me

I specialize in helping clients who seek a deeper connection with their souls. My clients are often individuals who are highly self-aware yet feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or shame. Many are creatives who struggle with self-doubt, motivation, or isolation. I help them explore their unconscious layers in new ways, fostering growth and self-acceptance. My approach is safe, supportive, trauma-informed, and spiritually integrative, and clients frequently share that they feel truly seen and heard in our work together. My therapy blends Jungian depth psychology and psychoanalysis with tools from my diverse background as a therapist, tarot reader, bodyworker, yoga and meditation instructor, and social worker. I tailor interventions to each client's needs, honoring the uniqueness of their experiences. As an AuDHD therapist with an autoimmune condition, I bring lived experience to my work, especially with clients who are neurodivergent, experience chronic pain, or navigate health challenges. My presence in sessions may look different from traditional therapy—I may fidget, play with my hair, or use my hands while listening. I also approach scheduling with care and transparency, as my health can sometimes require unexpected flexibility. While my practice is stable, I believe in being upfront about the realities of working with me so clients can make an informed decision. For those who resonate with a therapist who deeply understands these experiences, I offer a space of deep attunement and connection. Therapy is a deeply personal journey, and it’s important to work with someone with whom you feel safe opening up. If this approach speaks to you, I invite you to reach out.

Get to know me

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

During our initial session, we will engage in a relaxed conversation to become better acquainted, and I will aim to comprehend your concerns and requirements. You don't have to discuss any challenging issues or traumas in the first few sessions if you're not ready. Our goal is to establish trust in our professional relationship.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My clients often tell me that they find it easy to talk to me and that they feel relaxed and able to share their true feelings without having to put on a facade. I am adept at identifying unconscious motivations, defense mechanisms, and projections. When clients come to me with a dilemma or difficult emotion, I am able to guide them through processing their emotions and understanding what their emotional and physical bodies are trying to communicate. Additionally, I have expertise in dream analysis and creating rituals to support clients during challenging times and life transitions.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My previous experience working with survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual abuse has influenced my approach to working with all clients in a trauma-informed and relational manner. In my private practice, I have supported individuals who have gone through trauma and abuse, as well as those dealing with work-related stress, motivation issues, or difficulty finding purpose in life. Whether you have experienced trauma or you're struggling with confidence, self-esteem, or depression, establishing trust and creating a sense of safety are always my top priorities when starting a therapeutic relationship.

Kyra is able to laugh and sigh with me - I don't feel like my problems are too insignificant to just express what I'm going through. I still struggle to put words to my emotions and issues, but getting them out there and being met with support is extremely rewarding. She feels like a therapist I am not judged by for having reoccurring blockages, and that is not a small feat.
