I am an afro- Latina with Dominican and Puerto Rican heritage. I specialize in working with couples that are needing help creating a new path for connection and emotional safety within their relationship. I explore the meaning making that informs the stories that can dictate how we view our selves, and the world. My work is rooted in social justice and neurodiverse affirming care. Using Narrative and Emotionally Focused therapy, I work towards empowering clients to define success and happiness for themselves.

During the course of life, we will inevitably experience many challenges. While some of these events have the capacity to increase our resilience, others have the power to overwhelm our ability to cope. The urge to pull away from pain is instinctual, and today’s modern society is filled with countless opportunities to numb, distract, and avoid. Unfortunately, avoidance strategies rarely solve the problem. Sometimes it can be difficult to identify the source of our discontentment, as well as the factors that might be maintaining the problem. I honor the courage it takes to confront these stuck places.

My name is Kai. I'm a therapist who loves working with youth, adults, and families. Life can be both beautiful and incredibly challenging, often at the same time. What we carry often shows up quietly, in ways we may not recognize. My clients usually haven’t had the space to pause, listen inwardly, and begin to make sense of what’s been carried for too long.
I offer both short-term, solution-focused therapy and long-term counseling. Together, we’ll explore approaches that resonate with you, adjusting as needed along the way.

You will get a response from me, typically within 1 business day, even if I have a Waitlist. I'm prompt, professional, and excellent at what I do. We'll have a brief, confidential consult at no charge. If we're a fit, I'll get you in for our first session quickly, or placed on my Waitlist. If not, I'll provide multiple referrals at that time, so you can get access to care with another clinician. Send me an email and please include: 1) What you're hoping I can help with. 2) Days & Times that work for you. I work Mon-Thurs, 8am-4pm. 3) Insurance you are hoping to use, if any. & 4) Who referred you to my practice (if applicable).

Life is hard, and our past experiences can sometimes plague our present. With therapy, you can live free from old patterns and remove old reactions that no longer serve you. If you are struggling to make the choices you want to, and needing healing and support, my approach may be a good fit for you. I offer trauma-informed therapeutic methods, with recognition of past, present, and future context.
I apply my training in TF-CBT, EMDR and IFS through a systemic lens.

I am currently offering both Telehealth and in-person sessions. I work specifically with clients who have a desire to learn more about themselves, and to increase their experience of vulnerability. While employing a holistic mind, body and spirit perspective, my approach validates each client as having the answers and abilities within themselves to become the best person they can be. I do not believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy, but instead I seek to establish a genuine relationship with my clients, and from that determine together an approach that best matches the goals you would like to accomplish.

I believe an integral part of therapy and transformative change is creating a space where all individuals, regardless of their challenges feel welcomed and supported. I am committed to providing treatment that aligns with your individual values, needs and pace.

Our lives are often impacted by forces beyond our control. I work with young and old who encounter challenges common to modern living: Retirement, work stress, men's relationships, personal tragedy, financial troubles, loss of community, and loss of direction. I address unique challenges associated with aging: Chronic and acute illness, life partner debilitation, and hardships unforeseen. Refocus and reclaim your strengths and life as we work together on insights, new strategies and skills that enable you to overcome obstacles, and re-connect with life and your passions.

People prioritize therapy when it is necessary or important to them. I want to make therapy flexible enough for your busy life, with evening appointments, telehealth, and in-person options. Therapy works best if you have a trusting relationship with your therapist, and I aim to provide that setting, getting to know who you are and what you need, as you are the expert on your life. I hope to help you with the skills that will be useful throughout your life. While I work from a variety of treatment lenses, I believe the best way to heal is through the relationship and trust built.

You’re insightful and self-aware, but that doesn’t mean you’re not struggling. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed by expectations, unsure how to set boundaries without guilt, or stuck in a loop of self-criticism and anxiety. Therapy is a space where we can sort through that together- honestly, gently, and with direction. I support young adults who are navigating anxiety, emotional fatigue, identity shifts, and relational challenges. We'll explore how your internal patterns show up in daily life, and how to shift them in grounded, sustainable ways. My approach blends practical tools with deeper emotional work.

I collaboratively approach therapy, working alongside the client's journey. We work to rewrite the narrative to help free you from negative thoughts that disrupt your pathway to wellness. I used to feel stuck and when I was able to access the tools in my kit from my therapist, it made me realize I had so much to give back.

Who are you without the obnoxious voices of anxiety, doubt, and trauma? You have the knowledge and the strength you need to face whatever challenges you, but listening to your true self isn’t always easy. I’m here to help you turn the volume down on those voices so you can listen to your own innate wisdom and reconnect with what matters most to you. I approach my work with humility, curiosity, respect, and humor, and I welcome all of your humanness (laughter, tears, messiness, apprehension, and swears) as we discover what is most true to you and dispose of the stories about yourself that no longer serve you.

My therapeutic style is relaxed, engaged, warm, and non-judgmental. I am a psychodynamic therapist whose thinking and approach is informed by understandings of how the mind develops and how it relates to our bodies, our worlds, and our relationships. I work collaboratively with you to understand your particular struggles and patterns in order to help you examine your reactions and develop more flexible responses and resolve conflict- whether internal or external. I believe listening to the particulars of your unique story with deep curiosity is crucial to our work, but I am also pro-active and direct about sharing my thoughts.

In my practice, I blend NARM with other somatic mindfulness-based methods to help clients gently access and heal unresolved issues in order to decrease unnecessary suffering in their lives.

I enjoy working with clients who are curious about and engaged in their own healing process, and who are committed to compassion and nonviolence in their relationships with others and with themselves. I welcome adults, adolescents, couples, and clients from the LGBTQI+ community.

Are you a neurodivergent woman feeling overwhelmed, burned out, anxious, or exhausted from masking? Are you in a relationship or family system where Autism, ADHD, or other forms of neurodivergence impacts communication, conflict, or emotional connection?
I passionately work with those who are late-diagnosed, self-identified, or questioning whether ADHD or Autism may be part of their story. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, sensory overload, faith transitions, chronic self-doubt, and the different ways neurodivergence shapes emotional needs, communication styles, intimacy, and conflict cycles.
