Hello
It's nice to see you here!
I'm Kaileen--Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), social justice warrior, mental health advocate, and shame specialist.
The thing I'm most passionate about is accurately conceptualizing how you see
and experience life: what it really feels like to be you, the events that have contributed
to your struggles, why your responses to the world make total sense, and the things you
yearn for most but have no clear path to. Even though the route forward may not be initially
obvious, I value making my work with you personalized and collaborative so we can illuminate
that path--together.
​
Something I'm equally as committed to is creating an environment where you can ease-in
to being just you. The you without all the exhausting filters. Maybe you've had to hide who
you are, but in my judgment-free space, I'll continuously guide you to
allowing your true self to exist. And unlike the movies, you'll get a
real, authentic person on my end to help--not an analytic robot wearing a cardigan (no hate to
cardigans, here).
​
