My clients often express feeling immediate trust in our sessions, knowing they can share anything without judgment or criticism. Your trust is deeply respected, and I am committed to honoring it fully. It's important to me that you feel genuinely heard, seen, and understood throughout our work together.

I'm also going to be honest with you and say I know how it feels to be on the other side of the therapeutic relationship, and I've personally experienced transformation through the methods and tools I'll introduce to you in session. I believe wholeheartedly that whatever challenges you face, you deserve supportive guidance and practical insights to navigate and overcome them.

Part of the reason I chose to specialize in grief work stems from my personal experiences with loss and bereavement. Through my journey, I have developed a deep empathy and understanding of the complexities and pain involved in grief. If you're sitting there wondering, but I'm not sure if she'll really be able to understand, give it a shot. I can almost always guarantee that I've heard a similar level of dark humor already.

As a mental health professional, I prioritize empathy and understanding as foundational pillars of my practice. Drawing from over 6 years of clinical practice as a therapist, coupled with my own life experiences, I bring a wealth of wisdom and insight to our sessions.

One of the most meaningful compliments I've received from a client was, "Kiana, how do you manage to make me laugh and cry at the same time?"

As a therapist, I value the importance of incorporating wit and humor into my approach, and recognize their power to foster connection and ease difficult conversations. Humor can be a valuable tool in therapy, offering a lighthearted perspective that encourages openness and resilience.

Through my professional experience and personal journey, I have learned that laughter can be a healing force, helping clients navigate grief with both depth and levity.

In the end, our sessions are about you. We'll consistently assess your therapy journey, adapting our goals and approaches as necessary.

During challenging times, we can increase our meetings. Overtime, as you progress throughout your journey and are satisfied with your progress you've made we can always meet less frequently.

My only goal is to provide you with the necessary support and direction, tailored to your current needs. If there are instances where you just don't want to go there with your grief, because you need to feel "normal" again, that's okay, too.
