I am queer, cis, and multiracial Indigenous. (she/they)

Immediate openings for Relational/Couples Therapy only! (no reduced rate openings at this time)

I’m Kira—queer, cis, multiracial Indigenous (Eastern Band Cherokee), white-passing, and neurodivergent. I bring all of those lived experiences into the work I do and hold myself accountable to creating a therapy space that recognizes privilege, intersectionality, and systemic impact.

If you’re ready to do the work, I’ll meet you there.

This is a space where you’ll be supported, challenged, and equipped with the tools you need to create real, sustainable change in your relationships. I’m here to help you get to the truth of what’s beneath the surface, face it head-on, and move forward—together, to get you more of what you want in your relationship.

My approach is collaborative and rooted in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), where authenticity, personal responsibility, vulnerability and empathy lay the foundation for real meaningful change.

What to expect from me:

- My style is laid-back but active. I’m not a “smile and nod” therapist. I’m engaged, collaborative, and invested in helping you make meaningful progress that sticks.

- I deliver on the expertise you’re seeking—and deserve—from day one, offering practical strategies and tools tailored to your relationship and goals. Think part coach, part therapist.

- I’ll always work as hard as you do. This is a team effort: you bring your expertise on your life and relationship, and I bring mine in relational repair and transformation.

- You’ll get straightforward, respectful feedback paired with curiosity and compassion. I’ll challenge you when it’s needed and stand alongside you as you do the hard work.

I specialize in working relationally with:

All relationship types (from friendships to family to intimate partnerships and beyond)

Gender and sexual/affectional minorities (the whole alphabet mafia!)

Non-monogamy and all relationship structure diversities

Communication and conflict resolution

Intersecting identities and minority stress

Sex-positive and kink-affirming

Adult Neurodivergence (I am diagnosed myself!)

I am disabled, nonbinary, and queer. (they/them/he/him)

Immediate openings for teletherapy! (No reduced rate openings at this time)

I'm a white, queer cripplepunk. I grew up on a farm in conservative rural Ohio. I'm now based in Youngstown. I have two dogs and two cats that will likely make an appearance during telehealth sessions.

I’m a Licensed Social Worker and an Ohio Certified Prevention Specialist. I graduated from Case Western Reserve University in 2018 with a masters degree. During my time in Cleveland, I was involved in SURJOhio (Showing Up for Racial Justice) and played a role in the development of TRANSlate at the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland. The initiative focused on improving healthcare for trans individuals.

Trained in Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) , I aim to provide a safe and empathetic space for those facing mental health challenges to work towards hope and healing. My sessions are trauma-informed, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Whether we're diving into solution-oriented strategies, or engaging in psychotherapeutic exploration, our sessions can cover emotional regulation, social skills, identity exploration, goal setting, resource connection, and more.

I specialize in working with:

suicidal ideation

PTSD symptoms

kids, teenagers, and their parents

young adults

identity development

transgender journeys

disability as an identity

anxiety and depression

chronic illness

queer and/or polyamorous relationships
