Hi, I’m Kiara. I’m so glad you’re here. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor with a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology. I have over 12 years of experience providing mental health services across a variety of settings and populations. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, life stressors, substance use disorders and other mental health challenges. Today, I specialize in supporting ambitious adults — particularly millennial women — who struggle with high-functioning anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, overthinking, and self-doubt. Many of my clients appear successful and “put together” on the outside while internally feeling exhausted, stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping you better understand yourself while developing healthier coping strategies, greater emotional resilience, and more confidence in your decisions and relationships. Together, we’ll explore the patterns, pressures, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck and work toward creating a life that feels more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling.
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.
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.
I love working with ambitious, high-performing millennial women break free from perfectionism, anxiety, and burnout so they can improve their mental health and overall wellbeing. My clients are driven to grow but often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure how to create lasting change. Through supportive, practical guidance, I help them build the tools, confidence, and balance needed to thrive personally and professionally with clarity.

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.
