Are you a teenager trying to navigate the overwhelming feelings and thoughts that life brings on? Are you a survivor of sexual assault or domestic violence/ intimate partner abuse? Are there moments when you notice that the traumas from your past are affecting your relationships and everyday livelihood? So often, we ignore our inner hurts and we force ourselves to smile when we want to scream or laugh when we want to cry. Keeping up an act like that can be exhausting, and it can disconnect you from yourself.
Hello, my name is Kierra and I specialize in working with tweens, teenagers and young adults as they navigate and process life events related, but not limited to Traumas; physical, sexual, mental, or emotional abuse; and/or domestic violence/ intimate partner abuse.
As a clinician, I am an advocate and skilled provider in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR); and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also utilize different tools and techniques associated with Art Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). If I sound like a fit for you and you're ready to become the author of your story, give us a call.
