Pronouns: They/Them
Welcome, I’m Kyle. My pronouns are they/them. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of It’s a Vibe Psychotherapy. I offer trauma-informed, identity-affirming care that centers the experiences of LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals, and allies. I believe healing happens not just in isolation, but in connection — with our bodies, our histories, our communities, and with ourselves.
My work is rooted in the belief that therapy should be a space where you feel seen, supported, and safe to show up as your whole self — without the need to explain or defend your identity. I bring a warm, collaborative, and relational presence to our sessions, drawing from modalities like EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, CBT, and mindfulness practices. These tools help us work with the nervous system, unpack survival patterns, and restore access to joy, ease, and agency.
I specialize in supporting clients navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, racial and systemic oppression, and relationship challenges. I work with individuals, couples, and polycules, offering care that affirms your autonomy and honors the many ways healing can look.
As a queer, Black therapist, I know what it means to hold space for others while longing for spaces where we, too, can exhale. I’ve learned through both personal and professional experience how essential it is to be in environments where you don’t have to translate yourself to be understood. That’s the kind of space I aim to create — with softness, humor, honesty, and deep respect.
Whether you're beginning therapy for the first time or returning after a break, you are welcome here. Let’s work together to find what healing looks like for you.
My Approach to Treatment
1. Engagement phase:
We discuss boundaries, confidentiality, informed consent, and risk of treatment.
2. Assessment phase:
We gather more information about you and what brings you in so that we can figure out how I can best help you.
3. Planning/intervention phase:
We work together to plan and make sure treatment goes the way you want it to go.
4. Evaluation/Termination phase:
We check-in to see if therapy is going the way you want it to go or if you need something else in therapy. Typically I will check-in about our work together throughout treatment.
The last three phases can be interchangeable throughout treatment and have no fixed time limit.
These methods are influenced by the helping process.
