“this is the first time I've ever done a first therapy session and walked away instantly knowing this is someone I want to be my therapist. therapy is incredibly daunting and draining for me and there was that friendliness and authenticity that didn't have me feeling either of those things by the end of the session. i'm very grateful”

“I told Kiana that I desperately wanted a therapist that felt like a friend. We laughed through my tears and I felt so seen. I didn’t feel like I was rushed or that it was a checklist she was reading off of. I’m excited to continue growing with her and learning ways to cope with my anxiety/depression.”

Together, we can discover the paths to resilience, inner peace, and a more fulfilling life.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Kiana. Is great to work with, she has provided me with tools to navigate my life and experiences. She has really helped me in understanding 'what is true' . I appreciate her truthfulness and her ability to get me to refocus on the here and now. I highly recommend her.

It has been a joy to be able to work with Kiana. Truly a godsend during an extremely dark time in my life. Her authenticity shines through effortlessly. It has made it easy for me to work through the things I need address with trust that the space for doing so is held with care and compassion. I am glad that my first session with my first therapist was a match because I already knew I did not have the energy to try again. Kiana is amazing and I would recommend her through and through.

This was my first time doing therapy on my own so I was a little nervous about how my sessions would go. I feel so lucky to have found Kiana who has helped my mental health tremendously. Kiana is so gentle, warm and understanding. She is smart, shares good perspectives and eloquently communicates in ways to help you learn without judgment. She really listens and remembers details from our sessions - some that even I had forgotten I had shared - and makes you feel heard/seen. She also provides helpful tools to help you understand/self-regulate outside of sessions and creates an environment where you feel comfortable to be vulnerable. I'm really grateful for the safe space she's created for me and value the time we've shared. I feel like I've grown and learned a lot about myself in the short time we've spent together so I'm excited to continue my session with her. I highly recommend Kiana!
