About

I became a therapist to help reduce the stigma surrounding mental health by providing education and support to those who need it. My approach to treatment is open, mindful, and judgment-free. I see our therapeutic relationship as being teammates. I'll help you identify your treatment goals and guide you as you accomplish them. I have extensive experience supporting people with the management of mood, anxiety, adjustment, and psychosis symptoms. I thoroughly enjoy being able to connect with so many different individuals and support them through their journey.

I am truly so thankful I found Kaira through NOCD. She is very friendly, genuine, understanding, and very knowledgeable about her practice. I’ve never felt as confident with a therapist as I do her.. she asks the right questions and knows how to flow through the session creating a comfortable environment. I highly recommend her if you are looking for intentional/guided sessions and authentic conversations. 10/10!
