Empower Your Mental Health with LGBTQ+ Affirming, Empathetic & Evidence-Based Therapy
I'm committed to helping you improve the quality of your wellbeing and achieve your goals. Whether you're coming to process and understand your mental health or even navigate the nuances of different relational dynamics in your life; I'm here to help you navigate your journey and find new tools to help you begin living life. I started KC Character Development in order to create a space for clients to take refuge as they begin the work of exploring their relationship to themself and others, as well as navigate the overwhelming realities of life.
My practice centers on creating a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where queer clients feel understood, validated, and empowered to explore complex relational dynamics and build the relationships they truly desire. I blend evidence-based practices with a nuanced understanding of identity and diverse lived experiences.
In addition to my other services, I offer specialized therapy support for adults living with ADHD, the LGBTQ+ community, adults looking to heal their attachment patterns, and those who are looking for support recovering from codependency.

I fundamentally believe that the most important element in therapy is your ability to tell your story on your terms with someone you feel safe with. As a narrative-based, attachment therapist, I'll help you highlight your story with compassion, honesty, and humor. My favorite moments in the therapy room are those where you find your voice and begin using it relationally to help you write new possibilities; while at the same time, leaning into what it means to be human and building safety and security through attachment.

Individual Therapy (Clinical Services) Scope: Focused on treating mental health conditions, processing trauma, and providing clinical support for ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and related interpersonal challenges. Insurance Coverage: Insurance can only be applied to individual therapy sessions.
Couples Coaching (Non-Clinical Services) Scope: A collaborative, forward-focused partnership designed to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and set relationship goals. It does not treat, diagnose, or provide clinical intervention for mental health conditions. Out-of-Pocket Only: Because coaching is a non-clinical service, insurance cannot be used, and superbills cannot be generated. All couples coaching sessions are billed as flat-rate, out-of-network fees.
