About Kirah

“I create a space in therapy that focuses on finding a way to navigate life with meaning when things are difficult, uncomfortable, exciting, or anything in between”.

I bring thoughtfulness, humor, and the occasional callout delivered with care and compassion. If you want someone who’s in your corner and won’t let you hide from the things you came here to work on, welcome. Support is available for:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Low self-esteem
  • Intrusive thoughts
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Challenges related to food & body image

In session, I use tools and strategies from several approaches including ACT, CBT, DBT, EFT, Schema Therapy.  These modalities are interwoven to be helpful and tailored to the person rather than the other way around. A central part of my work is helping people understand their own patterns of thinking and processing so they can better recognize and support their needs.

I have specialized training in eating disorder treatment where I draw from evidence-based approaches that support people in rebuilding their relationship with how they see themselves. My approach focuses on understanding the origins of these patterns and the beliefs that keep them in place, moving toward more balanced and neutral views. We explore how emotions show up and work on building more sustainable ways to navigate them.

Therapy here is collaborative. Many find that this leads to answers that feel more authentic and sustainable than anything imposed from the outside. Along the way, I will offer strategies and perspectives to support this exploration in a practical way.

Telehealth services are available in Oregon and Washington, offering flexibility for those who travel between states or simply prefer to meet from their own space. Please reach out for a brief consult to explore whether this approach aligns with what you may be looking for at this stage in life.
