Life can feel relentless. You might be grappling with intrusive thoughts, finding it challenging to place trust in others or in your own judgment.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, personal relationships? Concerned about finding a therapist who will be a good fit for you? My view of therapy is to come alongside you; to support transformation into the best version of yourself; to allow you to integrate thoughts, feelings, and emotions; to work through old wounds and barriers...so you can learn to use healthier coping skills, better communication skills, and handle conflict. I believe when you feel accepted and supported, then you are more able to risk vulnerability, to look into yourself in order to grow, enjoy being you and have healthier connections.

Many people show up to therapy believing that there's something wrong with them or that they are the problem. Let me assure you that you aren't "crazy."

The therapists at KCCD will always see you as a human rather than just a diagnosis. We understand that life (and our relationships) can feel overwhelming, and we're here to support you in overcoming any obstacle.

Human behavior is complex. You search to solve your relational, family or mental health concerns and problems in one way or another. Some steps taken work better than others.

You can feel better and in turn, be in better control of your life and the decisions you make.

At the core of every person are innate needs to feel safe, secure, protection, love and connection. These innate needs follow us throughout life and have a significant impact on our ability to experience life to the fullest. When our innate needs are not being met we can experience significant negative emotion & stress. If we pay attention to our emotions, they help shed light on areas in our life where these needs are not being satisfied, which often results in stress. Our innate needs are satisfied physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually & behaviorally, but we have to be intentional and active in that process.
