Professional statement

Kyra is a Licensed Therapist dedicated to helping individuals of all ages navigate life's challenges. With a Master’s degree in Social Work from California Baptist University, Kyra has worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, bringing a wealth of experience and understanding to her practice. She is passionate about supporting clients who are seeking personal growth, deeper self-awareness, and meaningful change in their lives.

Kyra’s therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, strengths-based methods, and mindfulness. She believes that the foundation of effective therapy lies in a trusting and open relationship between therapist and client. Kyra is committed to providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Her goal is to empower clients to understand themselves better, develop resilience, and create lasting positive change.

Outside of her professional life, Kyra enjoys painting, running, and cooking, activities that allow her to express creativity, maintain physical well-being, and unwind. She also values quality time with family and friends, which helps her stay connected and grounded. She is excited to be a part of her clients' therapeutic journeys and looks forward to helping them achieve their mental health and wellness goals.


Message to clients

I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is understanding your unique needs, which is why we start with a detailed intake session. In this session, we’ll talk about your history, the challenges you’re currently experiencing, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. My approach is all about collaboration—I’m here to work with you, not dictate a path. We’ll find the most effective strategies together, and I’ll regularly check in to make sure our approach is meeting your needs. My aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore and address the issues that are most meaningful to you.
