Seeking to improve our relationship with ourselves and others can feel uncertain and overwhelming.

Through the collaborative experience of therapy, couples, polycules, or triads can find renewed, deeper bonds and individuals can untangle the past, process the current, and grow through supportive change.

Therapy extends beyond receiving a set of tools to reduce stress. It involves gaining insight and addressing personal challenges such as excessive worry, struggles with boundary-setting, perfectionism, disordered eating, low mood, and reliance on external validation. In couples therapy, the focus isn't solely on reaching agreement or pursuing mutual happiness. It requires both partners to actively confront their issues such as infidelity, conflict, and disconnection (emotionally & sexually). It involves developing collaborative skills to foster a deeper, more genuine, and fulfilling relationship together.

Hi, I'm Kitt! I'm the owner of Defiant Therapy, LLC, a practice that offers an affirming space for clients to embrace "defiance" - a sense of trust in oneself that leads you to challenge expectations. I value creating relationships with clients that allow them to be free to discover their expansiveness, care for the parts of themself that need tenderness and fierce compassion, and get clear about the change they need and the acceptance they deserve. I work with individuals (adults and adolescents), relationships of two or more, and families who want and need this radical space.
