Dr. Kira provides trauma-informed, culturally responsive counseling that supports clients in healing deeply and reclaiming their sense of self. She specializes in working with individuals who are navigating the lasting impact of difficult relationships, including recovery from narcissistic abuse, family of origin wounds, and relational trauma. Many clients come to therapy seeking freedom from patterns such as people-pleasing, self-doubt, or difficulty setting boundaries. Together, she helps them unlearn what no longer serves them and step into healthier, more authentic ways of being.
Dr. Kira believes in the power of the counseling relationship and feels privileged to support clients through the therapeutic process. She provides a warm, nurturing, and safe environment for clients to explore their underlying issues and concerns. Dr. Kira utilizes a variety of treatment modalities and varies her therapeutic approach to each client’s needs.
Dr. Kira recognizes that asking for help can be a difficult step, but it’s also an act of great courage. If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing journey, she'd love to work with you to explore the challenges you’re facing and develop the tools and strategies you need to navigate them with confidence.
