hi, I'm Kia (she/her).
As a person and as a therapist, I orient towards curiosity and care, deep presence in the here and now, authentic contact, creative expression, wandering exploration, soulful embodiment, warm reflections, interconnectedness, integration, and awe.

I feel honored to hold space for people to be with the pain and beauty of being alive, to explore and express who they are, how they want to love and be loved, how they want to live.

Between and beyond client sessions, I enjoy being in nature, music and sound-making, painting, making things, reading, sharing time with loved ones, and crossword puzzles.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked with kids, had a career in tech, trained as a birth and death doula, and taught conflict management.
I work with individuals &
relationships
I offer therapy for kids, teens, and adults as well as relationship therapy for couples, families, friends, co-founders, and other relational configurations.

Some experiences I work with include:
• anxiety, fear & panic - grounding & safety
• depression & despair - hope & aliveness
• bipolar & spiritual emergency - integration
• burnout & stress - purpose, rest
• intergenerational trauma - processing, ritual
• enmeshment & caretaking - boundaries, self-care
• conflict - needs identification & communication
dreamwork & psychedelic integration

Modalities I draw upon include Gestalt therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), expressive arts, somatic therapy, humanistic, and transpersonal.

I see clients from a lovely office in Hayes Valley (SF) and in nature in West Marin.

50-minute sessions are $180 for individuals and $225 for couples.
