Hi, I'm Keyira, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a background in clinical care and community-based research. I'm passionate about helping clients make sense of the deeply human process of healing and change. I support individuals feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected due to trauma, life transitions, or relationship stress. Together, we explore your inner world, understand patterns, and build practical tools for regulation, boundaries, and self-trust. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and grounded in ACT, CBT, and EMDR-informed care, helping you move forward with clarity, compassion, and intention. 

I help clients build emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and shift unhelpful patterns. You can expect a supportive space with practical tools to strengthen boundaries, process experiences, and move forward with clarity and self-trust. Together, we cultivate mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and lasting internal and external resources. 

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of where to begin, you're not alone. Change can feel heavy, but you don't have to navigate it by yourself. If you're open to exploring your experiences with curiosity and compassion, you're already taking a meaningful step. When you're ready, I welcome you to begin this process with me.
