Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

Kyra earned her Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology in 2013 from Eastern University.  She then earned her Master’s of Science Degree in Counseling in 2015 from McDaniel College. She has experience working as a therapist with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, families, and groups in an outpatient mental health setting, as well as a school based therapy and group home setting.  

Kyra has experience working with clients who experience depression, anxiety, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, adjustment disorders, anger management, parenting challenges, ADHD, relationship issues, personality disorders, self-esteem issues, and substance use. Kyra individualizes her interventions based on client needs, but primarily focuses on dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). 

Kyra views therapy as partnership between herself and the client, creating a trusting and supportive relationship. She sees therapy through a dielectric lens of accepting yourself without judgement, while simultaneously changing destructive behaviors so you can live a healthier life. She enjoys helping clients reach their goals and make positive changes in their lives.
