Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm KiOna! I enjoy working with teens, adults, and older adults who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, misunderstood, or disconnected from themselves. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major life transitions, or struggles with self-worth, I want you to have a space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself.

I'm especially passionate about supporting people who haven't always had a safe space to fully express who they are. Together, we'll explore what you've been through, better understand the patterns shaping your experiences, and build greater self-awareness, confidence, and authenticity. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and move forward in a way that feels meaningful to you.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, empowering, and tailored to your individual needs. I combine compassion with practical strategies to help you better understand your emotions, recognize patterns, and develop healthier ways to navigate life's challenges.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and Cinema Therapy to support our work together. Whether you're working through trauma, managing anxiety or depression, or exploring your identity and relationships, we'll focus on building coping skills, strengthening self-awareness, and creating meaningful changes that carry into your everyday life.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other, begin building trust, and talk about what brought you to therapy. We'll explore what you've been experiencing, what's most important to you right now, and what you hope to gain from our work together.

You can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, asking questions, and being yourself. I'll listen with compassion, offer honest feedback, and help you recognize your strengths while developing tools to navigate life's challenges. Together, we'll build a trusting relationship and work toward goals that feel meaningful to you.
