Kyle believes that therapy is a space where people can show up as their whole selves and feel supported in making sense of life’s challenges. Using a relationship-oriented and growth-focused approach, he helps clients build awareness, understanding, and meaning within their experiences while exploring thoughts, emotions, patterns, and relationships. Kyle draws from approaches that encourage clients to share their stories, deepen self-awareness, and navigate life with greater clarity and self-compassion.

Kyle primarily uses a relationship-oriented approach where clients are encouraged to show up as their whole selves in therapy. He works collaboratively to help clients build awareness of their emotions, thoughts, and experiences while developing deeper understanding and meaning in their lives. His therapeutic style is warm, empathetic, growth-oriented, and humorous, creating a space where clients feel supported and understood.

Kyle works with young adults and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, life transitions, and family or relationship struggles. He also specializes in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and creating an affirming, welcoming space for identity exploration, healing, and growth.

Outside of work, Kyle enjoys recharging by going on walks with his husband and dog. He also enjoys engaging with media—whether podcasts, TV, movies, or books—depending on the day.
