She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and parenting challenges. She also addresses concerns related to family dynamics, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and LGBT issues.

Her background includes long-term practice in community and clinical settings across Michigan. That experience informs a practical approach to coping skills, behavior change, and crisis navigation. She draws on methods that have evidence for helping with mood, impulsivity, and substance use concerns.
When someone brings parenting stress, family conflict, or grief into a session, Kenya focuses on concrete strategies and attainable goals. She helps people name patterns, try small changes, and track what works. Conversations aim to be straightforward and usable between sessions.
For people worried about taking the first step, Kenya offers an initial pathway through a short matching questionnaire and a first session to set priorities.

How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online work
Kenya’s profile notes that she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That typically means drawing on structured methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and build coping skills. For example, cognitive approaches focus on recognizing and adjusting thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety or depression. Behavioral techniques emphasize small, repeatable actions that reduce impulsivity and support recovery from addictions.Another common approach emphasizes trauma-informed care that helps people process difficult events at a steady pace. This work often combines grounding skills, emotion regulation, and gradual exposure to distressing memories so people can regain control over reactions and daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kenya will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors conversations and exercises based on what a person is trying to change or manage, and checks in to see what is helpful.
