Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Kirby, and I believe that you are the expert of your own life. In a world that often demands we "just keep going," it’s easy to feel disconnected from yourself. Whether you are navigating the persistent hum of anxiety or the heavy fog of depression, my goal is to provide a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and respected.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is collaborative and compassionate, blending mindfulness and compassion-focused techniques with practical behavioral strategies. We will work together to quiet your inner critic and develop actionable tools that help you manage daily stressors more effectively. I focus on meeting you exactly where you are, ensuring our sessions provide both deep emotional support and tangible progress. My goal is to empower you to lead a more balanced, intentional life at a pace that feels authentic to you.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my priority is creating a warm, low-pressure environment where you feel safe to share your story at your own pace. We will explore what brought you here and identify your primary goals, ensuring our work together is tailored to your specific needs with anxiety or depression. This initial meeting is a collaborative fit check to ensure you feel comfortable and supported by my person-centered approach. You’ll leave the session with a clear roadmap for our work and a small, practical tool like a mindfulness or compassion practice to use right away. My goal is for you to walk away feeling heard, hopeful, and respected as the expert of your own life.
