Hello! I’m Kiara, and I enjoy working with couples and adult individuals. I have a big heart for others and use a blend of CBT, EFT, EMDR, and a psychodynamic lens to promote healing—which I believe is limitless. I am trained in Prepare and Enrich, supporting couples in various seasons of their relationships, especially in pre-marital counseling. I also offer faith-based integration for clients who desire it, as it promotes a deeper understanding of life’s complexity and how we can find meaning through God’s word and encouragement.
I have experience working with individuals navigating identity, stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. I am passionate about providing keen insight to clients and strive to deepen the understanding of attachment wounds, trauma, and symptoms that often stem from nervous system dysregulation and unhealthy relationship dynamics.
Creating a safe space where you can be your most authentic self is vital to me, as I believe it is essential to true healing. My goal is to walk alongside you in all phases of counseling. I know sharing details about yourself and your relationships can feel difficult, but I am honored to walk with you in hope, healing, truth, and grace.
