Ever feel like no one understands what you're going through? Is it hard to find someone who "just gets it"? Stress, anxiety, and sadness have a way of making life harder to manage, and the reality is that many of our friends and family members aren't capable of supporting us because of their own unresolved issues. The good news is, you no longer have to push through difficult times alone.

I am a person-centered therapist who uses the guide-collaborator approach to provide a safe space to empathetically build a therapeutic rapport with clients. My theoretical model of choice is CBT with elements of CPT, NET, and DBT. I meet my clients where they are in their stage of readiness for change. I find this is the optimum approach in being responsive to the individual's needs. This approach allows my techniques to be flexible and integrative. I incorporate psychoeducational components on symptom impact of diagnosis, the influence of negative schemas, porous boundaries, ineffective communication styles, and attachment styles.

I enjoy working with clients who are driven to make a change. I will roll up my sleeves and help you fight through your struggles. We are a team.

My introduction to counseling started well before I became a clinician. As a widow raising young children without the support of a husband/father, life was overwhelming and, initially, felt impossible to bear. Fear, anxiety, depression, anger, and sometimes debilitating emotional pain worked overtime to leave me feeling hopeless. The decision to reach out for help changed my life. It was empowering and provided the needed tools to not only survive but to thrive. Now, with over 12 yrs of clinical work, I look forward to working with you to provide an experience of empowerment as you grow through what led you to seek support.

HI Mindful Soul! I'm Keiro and I believe in the power of a compassionate therapeutic relationship while working collaboratively with my clients to explore and address underlying issues contributing to their challenges. Some of my favorite quotes are, "It's so much better to walk with people in life and not run behind them!" or "Bloom where you're planted!". I believe that we all control our own destiny and are co creating. Some times it takes for someone who is unbiased to your life and connected with God's purpose to help you navigate your experiences!

We have all had experiences in life that leave us broken, discontent, confused, unstable, or even hopeless. We have heard the saying “life-happens” and often the expectation is that you can just get over it. Sometimes moving past traumatic experiences can be difficult, the emotional baggage can be heavy. Do you feel “stuck” or unable to move through your healing process? Maybe you need help navigating a stressful situation or difficult relationship. Are your thoughts overwhelming and consuming you with worry and doubt? Does this sound like you?

I recognize the vulnerability, commitment and courage it takes to properly heal, and how intimidating it might feel to entrust an “outsider” with details of your life. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety and stress, or need to get over guilt and shame. Perhaps, you are a couple wanting to discover more deeply yourself and partner before marriage, or a couple in need of a “couples checkup,” to maintain a healthy relationship. Perhaps, you need help traversing infidelity, separation, divorce, custody issues, or other life transitions. We all need connection and at times, maybe just a little more support. When you're ready, let's talk.

You have to be strong. All. The. Damn. Time. And that’s just become too much. Even for you. You have BIG feelings and may even cry when you’re alone, but hide them so the world can’t use them against you. You’re exhausted. But you can’t slow down for fear of what may happen if painful memories overwhelm you. Your internal voice is relentlessly mean and you want to shut it up, but you don’t even know if it’s possible to truly accept yourself. You know far too many people have too much access to your physical space or emotional energy, but you learned this is how to keep people around and saying “no” leaves you alone or rejected.

At times we may feel that there’s no one that can understand us or fear not looking like the “strong” friend. We struggle to talk about our emotions and often wear masks out of the belief that nothing will change. Do you struggle to take up space in conversations or in a room due to lack of confidence? Or constant feelings of inadequacy due to struggles in managing high expectations placed upon you? Are you a person that struggles to show your body love and compassion? Have you had a history of disordered eating and want to work towards unsubscribing from diet culture and embrace the skin you’re in?
