Approach — Kyra │ Psychotherapy

Integrative Therapy

My approach to therapy is integrative, trauma-informed, relational, and somatic (body-oriented) — drawing from different psychotherapy modalities unique to individual needs.

In our work together, I hope to create a non-pathologizing space of safety, warmth, play, and trust so that you may explore the challenges you have been facing, and experience movement toward well-being. I am rooted in an anti-oppressive framework that is inclusive of gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.

Our process will be collaborative. I integrate creativity into sessions to help individuals feel more embodied, drawing on my Art Therapy training from Metàfora in Spain. More info can be found here.

Anti-Oppressive Care

I am attuned to how broader systems can impact clients’ experiences of feeling unheard, marginalized, or disempowered. Dominant models of psychology both directly and indirectly, “have served to strengthen oppressive structures, by drawing attention away from them and toward individual factors” (Ignacio Martín-Baró, Writings for a Liberation Psychology, 1994). Individual challenges are often deeply rooted in systemic oppression. I am committed to examining the systems I work within and decolonizing the ways in which I practice, through liberatory-oriented trainings.
