Deciding to seek therapy is a significant step towards personal growth and well-being. By considering this option, you're already demonstrating a commitment to improving your life. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor, and trained EMDR therapist, I'm here to support you on your journey to healing and self-improvement.
I’m Kiara, a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, and life stressors. My background includes years of nursing in emergency, psychiatric, and behavioral health settings, which helps me understand clients from both a medical and mental health perspective. I create a supportive, respectful space where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered in their healing.
I bring both clinical expertise and real-world experience into our work together. I understand that many people come to therapy feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start and I meet clients with patience, respect, and honesty.
I believe therapy should feel collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in safety. I don’t rush the process or expect clients to have everything figured out. We move at a pace that feels sustainable, while still working toward meaningful change.
Clients should also know that I value direct communication and transparency. I will offer reflections and tools when helpful, but I will always honor your autonomy and lived experience. I do not believe in pathologizing survival responses, especially when they are shaped by trauma, systemic stress, or long-term caregiving roles.
Above all, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered, a space where you can breathe, reflect, and begin to shift from surviving to living with greater clarity and intention.
Hey there! My name is Nikki. I am excited to get to know you!
I support adults and teens living with the challenges of anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, PTSD and grief. Some of the challenges that we face in childhood/adolescence can impact us later in life. I am passionate about helping you understand how trauma and your family dynamics impact your relationships, coping mechanisms and thought patterns.
I am a licensed clinical social worker, meaning I studied both psychology and the context (environmental and social) that contributes to mental health challenges. Throughout my career, I've worked with those recovering from trauma and addiction. Most of my clients are healing from experiences of violence, abuse, sexual assault, and/or neglect. In an effort to address symptoms faster, I obtained training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
