With life coming at you from every angle, it can cause anxiety, depression, and fear of failure. Life makes you feel that nothing ever gets better and your past keeps showing up and making it worse. You need a safe space to slow down and heal from your past, show up and thrive in your present, and prepare for the future you want! I specialize in helping you get it ALL under control! I know the difficulty you have had trying to find a quality therapist when you work a 9-5, so I offer support both evenings and weekends! I specialize in healing trauma, increasing your self-esteem, and I offer EMDR and hypnosis.

My mission as your therapist is to help you gain deep insight and cultivate practical tools needed to forge the fulfilling life you desire and deserve. I help young adult, college students and professional women who are facing difficult life transitions, relationship stress, family issues, past trauma, and identity concerns to heal and thrive through vulnerability, connection, and self-compassion. I am passionate about supporting ambitious women of color to overcome feelings of “stuckness” from past wounds while they cultivate the professional and personal life of their dreams.

There are so many things that make us who we are. So many titles we identify with each day: parent, professional, athlete, student, spouse & the list goes on. Regardless of the title, the reality is that we all struggle with different things. Do you desire a space to be seen, heard and to communicate your challenges without judgement? Do you find navigating the woes of life to be challenging & overwhelming? If so, I can only assume that you're ready for a change. You're ready to see something different. To respond differently. To think differently. You want to show up in the world in a new way & I'm here to help you do just that.

My treatment philosophy is based on the belief that the practice of self-discovery creates more room for you to live your life to its fullest potential. Unfortunately, mental, emotional and relationship challenges can severly impeed your efforts. By weaving together behavioral, cognitive, developmental, personality and systems theories of psychology; many of the challenges can be resolved. In addition, the spiritual beliefs and religious traditions of each individual are explored. For many, this experience facilitates living more authentically and cultivates a compassionate understanding of self with a spirit of confidence that paves the way for greater accomplishment in all aspects of life.

Stepping into therapy takes courage, and if you are here, you are most likely ready for change. Sometimes two heads are better than one! We offer a welcoming atmosphere to find clarity, support, and growth. Our counseling practice sees life's challenges as opportunities to understand ourselves more fully. Our therapeutic process is collaborative; we will honor your journey with non-judgment, confidentiality, and respect.

I see therapy as a powerful commitment to one's own healing and personal evolution, in the context of a genuine relationship based on equality and respect. I work best with people who are ready and willing to dive in and learn new ways to be with themselves, no matter what circumstances they are dealing with (relationship problems, grief and loss, sexuality and identity issues, negative thinking, depression, anxiety, family responsibilities, health issues, midlife transitions, etc). Though deep listening is foundational, I take an active role in offering feedback and teaching you tools for shifting your inner and outer realties.

My commitment is to provide a supportive, open, & non-judgmental environment for you to explore and process difficult feelings, stuck points in thinking, & develop increased self-acceptance. I commit to being an advocate for my clients as well as a means of support & gentle challenging that is necessary for you to reach your highest goals in life!

Seeking help is hard, however I'm here to listen, lift you up, and and find your best self. Life can feel chaotic, stagnant, or going backwards. when this happens it hard to find a a way back to ourselves and push forward. I'm here to guide you out the hailstorm where you are reminded of your resiliency and self worth

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you someone who is questioning their faith? Do you need someone to help you in your journey? Most of us will experience challenging situations as we go through life. These situations can leave us with emotional wounds, unresolved trauma, or difficulty managing emotions. I would like to help you make sense of what has happened in your life and understand the meaning of it. By identifying the unhelpful patterns we have learned, we can then start a journey toward wholeness and healing. Together we can begin to identify and remove the obstacles that are keeping you from experiencing personal growth.

Welcome, I'm Kaia. I am a queer and nonbinary therapist who offers virtual therapy for individuals and couples using a relational approach incorporating mindfulness and body-based approaches. I integrate a trauma-informed, intersectional feminist, queer and body positive lens in our work together. As a therapist, I am warm and compassionate, providing space for you to feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe that our bodies hold the wisdom and power to heal ourselves; most of us just need guidance to remember how to do that.

I get it. It can be hard to take that next step in life when you don’t know where to turn next. Feeling stuck and helpless doesn't have to be permanent in your life. It is my goal to work with clients and journey with them through their challenges, trials, and personal growth. Areas in which I provide services include: individual, relationship, marriage, and family counseling while addressing the following areas: Career coaching, anxiety, depression, child & adolescent, relationship issues, coping skills, self esteem, self improvement, vocational, trauma, and life transitions.

Life transitions (personal and occupational) often result in challenges. Many of us become sad with grief and loss or face new challenges creating stress and anxiety. Effective management of conflictual feelings and stressers result in a healthier lifestyle for individuals and families. This stability has a positive impact on your productivity and well-being. My hope for each client is restoration of her/his highest level of functioning. With my skills, and experience I partner with clients to facilitate their goal- whether that may be symptom relief, behavioral changes, problem resolution or personal insight and understanding.

Creating the life and relationships you want is not only possible, it can be fun, exciting, healing. Old patterns, beliefs, hurts, traumas don't have to hold you back. Heal the past and create a rich, new, and flexible present. Create a future that honors who you are and who you wish to become as an individual or as a couple or family. As you author your own life and relationships, you can create expansive opportunities and growth free from past patterns, rigid thinking, chaotic interactions, old wounds, childhood abuses, deep traumas or controlling fears and anxieties.

As a successful, High-Performing Professional Woman, are you tired of feeling like you have it all together on the outside but falling apart on the inside? Are you an overachiever at work but not managing your personal life, do you push for perfection, put others first, find self-care nonexistent, or just get stuck in the busy cycle of go, go, go? Imagine great self-love, creating healthy boundaries, having positive relationships, a career you love, and ultimately living your best life. Now is the time to get unstuck, quiet that inner critic, and stop letting anxiety paralyze you. You are not alone and I can help you!

My style is collaborative. The relationship between the client and therapist guides the work we will do together. By using a non-judgmental attitude and creating a safe place for you to feel heard, growth and insight can take place. Many times we find ourselves caught in patterns that no longer serve our well-being; sometimes it takes someone outside our lives to help us see how to change these patterns. Often rooted in the story of our past, these patterns keep us stuck in outdated ways of thinking. Therapy can be the process of liberation from these stuck patterns, but it does take a willingness to be uncomfortable.
