Hi! I’m Kacia (pronounced Kay’-sha). My style as a therapist is gentle, egalitarian, intuitive, and heart-led. I identify as first-generation Asian-American, cis-hetero, areligious, currently non-disabled, and lower middle-class. I’m also sex-positive, queer/gender/TGNC-affirming, polyamory and kink/BDSM affirming, and pro-SW. I love talking about talking. Communication is my favorite thing and I really enjoy working with people to build their capacity for communicative magic. I believe in science AND I believe in the mysterious and inexplicable dynamism of our psyches and souls. I’m a dancer, a beauty seeker, and a listener on a lifelong quest to see the unseen. My hope is that therapy can support you in finding increased capacity for connection, choice, and clarity. A relationship with a therapist is an important place to practice vulnerability and honest feedback in a relationship – it’s like a training ground to foster greater connection and authenticity in all of our relationships. As we work with a therapist to develop an intentional awareness about what’s happening with our insides, it can become easier to make decisions about what’s happening on our outsides – in the space between reaction and response, we can begin to make choices about the way we interact with the world. And as we start to shine a light on what’s happening inside us, we can develop a clarity about ourselves by asking questions like: What do we like? What do we want? Who are we now, and who do we want to be? I truly believe therapy is a kind of magic. It’s an opportunity to see ourselves through the eyes of someone whose only motivation is a desire to support us in knowing ourselves with compassion and clarity. But it is also a process that requires your participation, willingness, and engagement. You are the world’s best expert on you; we (you and me) can’t do this work without you.
