Kiera helps clients navigate depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, trauma, and emotional dysregulation. She utilizes a collaborative approach allowing the client to take the wheel as she guides them to explore their challenges, build skills, and drive forward towards meaningful change. Her passion lies in fostering a strong relationship with her clients with a belief that all individuals are experts of their own lived experiences. Kiera integrates evidence-based strategies and is devoted to providing a nonjudgmental and compassionate environment for her clients. She is DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) trained through Behavioral Tech Institute, ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) trained through NOCD Academy and also blends a mix of trauma-informed, CBT, and mindfulness approaches.
Kiera obtained a Master’s in Social Work from Temple University. Prior, she received a Bachelor of Arts from Stockton University in Sociology with a minor in childhood studies. Her background in Sociology allowed her to gain an understanding of the quiet forces that shape people, and learned to dive deeper beyond the surface level. Kiera has a background working in an acute inpatient setting with children, adolescents, and adults where she provided care to clients in high-intensity crises. Through hands-on work, she worked alongside clients experiencing depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal ideations, eating disorders, life-transitions, mood disorders, ADHD, and ASD.
