Many years psychological assessment experience and supervision to doctoral students in clinical settings.

I am great with understanding those with who struggles with emotional dysregulation, depression, anxiety, and much more. If you desire to have success and control over your life and emotions, I can help!

Often times we find reasons to devalue our own needs because acknowledging pain is hard. I encourage you to take this moment to put your happiness and well-being first. People reach out to me when they feel less in control of their lives. When stressful changes in life leave them feeling restless at night; they aren't able to turn off their mind. They often feel on edge, as if they might cry or lose their cool at any moment. It becomes difficult to feel joy from their usual pleasures. When clients sit down with me they want to regain a sense of normalcy and peace.

You are invaluable, but it doesn’t always feel that way. It seems you must put on a brave face for everyone, meanwhile, you feel as if you’re cracking under the pressure. Perhaps you’ve been taught to disconnect from your emotions, and it is affecting how you see yourself. Maybe people lack an understanding and appreciation for what it means to be you. You want for more but don’t think that you deserve it or engage in negative self-talk. Perhaps even you’ve made some choices you are not proud of and punish yourself as a result. You wish for a different life but it is difficult to let go of what you have known for so long.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor I know the difficulties that some people face in their walk of life. I understand the meaning of “its a lot” and how we often bear the burdens of people and things around us. I would love to help you find growth and healing through the counseling process and lessen your everyday burdens. My therapeutic approach is eclectic which allows me to meet my clients where they are, and use appropriate techniques to assist them in meeting their personal goals.

My ideal client is someone seeking guidance through life's challenges and transitions and yearning to rediscover their innate strength. Together, we'll disrupt unhealthy patterns, deepen your insight, and empower you with the skills needed to reclaim your resiliency. As an ally for diverse perspectives and experiences, I'm dedicated to providing a safe space where your voice is heard, and your journey is valued. My goal is to help you find purpose within your pain, reframe/reclaim your life story, and navigate a path to lasting transformation. I love using humor, art, music, and other non-western methods to help support the journey.

Life is hard! And growth and change are not linear! I believe that meeting people where they are in their journey and holding a mirror to their strengths is the first step in helping to navigate whatever comes your way. Through an eclectic therapeutic approach, I assist my clients with developing healthy coping strategies to address life transition, relational concerns, career, stress, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Understanding that starting, or returning to counseling can feel stressful, I leave space for clients to share in a manner that feels comfortable and safe.

Your life has been completely shattered. You want to begin to pick up the pieces of your life but have no idea where to start. You cannot believe that someone you love, someone you trust, some you give your all to would cause you so much pain. You continue to play over and over again different scenarios of where the relationship went wrong. You start thinking about how stupid you were for all the things you did to keep the relationship. I hate to admit it, but I am glad to say, I understand you. Relationships, especially ones that are meaningful to you, will leave you crushed. Especially when trust has been broken.

Seeking support for life’s challenges is a courageous step. Therapy is a place to explore your present thoughts, feelings and experiences, all of what are influenced by elements of your past. The core beliefs and feelings we have about ourselves create a blueprint for how we live our lives. When these beliefs are negative, they lead to feeling stuck, anxious, and unhappy. This may be influenced by present or past experiences, distressing events, unhealthy relationships, or unhelpful behavioral patterns. Staying with the familiar often feels safer, even when it is having a negative impact and is not working.

Dr. Kidd will guide you through the journey of self-discovery & self-mastery, aligning you with your redefined perspective & life purpose. From challenges with anxiety & depression to trauma & family history, Dr. Kidd's purpose is to assist you in considering the various solutions for a more fulfilling life. It is together, through the therapeutic process, we will tackle your life challenges, leading to growth and prosperity. His hope is that we learn how to reflect, heal, and embrace new beginnings!
