I offer over 25 years working experience helping adults with anxiety, depression, bipolar, and/or relationship issues.

Waitlist available - I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and art psychotherapist. By integrating traditional talk therapy with art psychotherapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), I offer a unique treatment approach for adults, children, adolescents, and families. I have extensive experience working with trauma, abuse, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and interpersonal difficulties. My approach is supportive, strength-based and collaborative - I enjoy helping individuals of all ages experience empowerment, increase resilience and make life changes that are sustainable and rewarding.

I strive to create an environment which fully supports my clients in making meaningful and lasting changes within their lives. My areas of specialty include depression and anxiety, substance use and misuse, LGBTQ+ populations, men and masculinity, college-aged students and those navigating life, family and career-related transitions. I completed my undergraduate, graduate and now doctoral work at Indiana University in education, counseling and human development, respectively. I have also worked at IU for many years in counseling, teaching and administrative roles, so I am well versed in campus and community culture.

I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of psychological distress. I have particular expertise working with people navigating academia (i.e., college students, graduate students, and faculty).

Your session is a safe place to be heard. With 23 years of experience, I am able to find where you are stuck and to help you free yourself. My goal is restore flow to your life so you can be happy. Everyone deserves to be happy.

NOT ACCEPTING CLIENTS As an LCSW for almost 20 years, I look forward to the opportunity to work with you on your goals. Each of us has the potential for positive change and it is often easier to achieve this with a therapist. I primarily utilize strength-based, systems, trauma, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I have experience empowering individuals facing grief & loss, addiction, MAT, trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, as well as other life stressors. Clients include teenagers, young adults, adults, and older adults."When we are no longer able to change the situation, we are challenged to change ourselves" V. Frankl.

Seeking therapy is a hopeful and courageous act. While suffering is a uniquely individual experience, making the transition to a healthy and balanced life is an opportunity to discover a true and more authentic self. My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in a deep respect for the strength and resilience of the human spirit. If you are a young person struggling at home or at school or a couple looking for clarity, resolution and healing or someone that feels like they just don't fit in, you do not have to continue alone.

I am proud to provide a safe environment for all races, genders, religions, and clients from the LGBTQ community. I provide a comfortable and confidential environment for you to talk about your concerns and therapy goals. I use a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help you reach your goals, feel more connected, and have a more meaningful life. I also enjoy working with students and I offer a $40 student rate for all college students.

**I am currently full and unable to accept new clients. Hope to have more availability soon**I have a warm, collaborative working style that integrates a systemic theoretical orientation (understanding people's lives in the context of biology, relationships, work, and larger social/cultural systems) with highly individualized, evidence-based treatment. I enjoy working with people across the lifespan, from adolescence through older adulthood. I have extensive training/experience in the areas of family therapy (e.g., Functional Family Therapy), parenting, co-parenting through divorce/family disruption, trauma, and developmental challenges through adolescence and emerging adulthood.

No New Patients. I enjoy working with a variety of people and have extensive experience assisting individuals experiencing trauma related disorders, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I work with adults of all races, cultures, sexual orientations, gender orientations, and religions. I assist clients to explore ways stresses, traumas, and significant relationships have influenced them so that they may lead a more full, satisfying life. I'm an integrative therapist and am most influenced by EMDR, psychodynamic theories, and dialectical behavioral treatment. I collaborate with you to develop and pursue goals along the way.

If you are struggling with sad feelings, wanting to feel less anxious or making dramatic changes in your life, or improve relationships, I can help. Together we can work through the tough stuff so you can start living a life closer to your dreams, one more in line with your personal goals and values. And I will be there every step of the way! Are you ready to make changes? We can work together via therapy where we review your past moving forward or via life coaching where we set up an action plan and help you find motivation within to accomplish your goals! Packages available for coaching!

My approach to therapy focuses on the therapeutic relationship which I perceive as the most important factor for change to happen. I use interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in my work. My primary area of interest is working with college aged students and young professionals in their early 20s to late 40s who may be experiencing difficulties dealing with the various roles, responsibilities, stressors, and life transitions that come with this particular age group and various life stages.

I am not accepting new clients at this time. Are you feeling burned out in your work? Feeling the weight of being in a helping profession? Starting to question your current role? Getting support to manage the difficult aspects of helping others is beneficial but can feel like a daunting task. The Resiliency Practice seeks to serve clients that feel they have been negatively impacted by their work as a caring professional, as well as those entering into their career and looking to build resiliency skills against compassion fatigue.

We all have trauma, obstacles, setbacks in life, or times where we don't feel our best. It can be a struggle to just get through the day. Sometimes we find that those traumas and obstacles are too big to overcome on our own, and we need help. Therapy can be an excellent place to process through and heal from trauma, gain new coping skills or improve old ones, and develop the self-awareness and insight to reach new levels of personal growth. Whether it's a struggle with a mood disorder like depression/anxiety, major life adjustments like divorce, or processing through a complex trauma history, helping others heal is what I love to do

*I am not taking new clients at this time* My goal is to create an environment where you are safe to explore yourself and the circumstances of your life in a compassionate, non-judgemental manner. I will help you to identify your therapeutic goals and use strategies best suited to your specific needs; always looking for and developing your inherent strengths that will enable you to achieve your goals. Mine is an eclectic approach to therapy that addresses, among other issues, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, life transitions, relationships, gender, and sexuality.

There are times when we all need some additional support and guidance to help us get to where we want to be mentally and emotionally. Counseling can help us take this journey and get to that healthier place. I believe that these journeys require a good connection and balance between the therapist and client. Both must be willing to give and take within the therapeutic process to make it a success.

Kiera, staff therapist at Compassionate Living Now, is committed to building trusting, collaborative and genuine relationships with adults and younger adults, and enjoys supporting individuals in identifying strengths to cope with life's transitions and challenges. She strives to bring an intersectional understanding of power, privilege, and oppression, and the impact they can have on the lives of individuals.

The Blue Sofa Counseling Services: A place where you are welcome. An ideal client would be an individual who is willing to work on becoming critical of negative self-talk and have a willingness to become more aware of their overall thought process. Issues that I have experience of working with include, but are not limited to: depressed moods, anxiety-related​ disorders, and adjustment issues. Additionally, the ideal couple would consist of two individuals who are interested in working together on common goals to help strengthen the positive qualities within their growing relationship.

I am a licensed psychologist with a private practice in Bloomington, Indiana. I was educated and lived most of my life in New York City. In my private practice I work with teens, adults, couples, and families, and with people of all beliefs and backgrounds. My approach centers on developing a heart-to-heart connection with clients in an honest search for emotional blocks that prevent us from living a more fulfilling life. Together, we work to uncover and understand these blocks by objectively observing everyday reactions, attitudes, and beliefs in our relationships and activities.

My primary area of interest is working with adults in their mid-20s through early-40s who feel as if their fears and anxieties are holding them back in their lives, those who feel stuck in place, alone with their struggle, and unable to move forward. I enjoy helping clients to move through these fears to create the life that they want for themselves, by helping them to see themselves and their world in a more balanced and accepting way, and to respond in ways that fit with who they truly are.
