Biography
Hi, my name is Kalyn!
For personal reasons, we had the best family social worker growing up and that was my first introduction to Social Work. Being in this profession allows me to support people in a very intentional way, with multicultural care in mind. Whether you need help with managing anxiety or depression related to life transitions, relationship, school or work stress, or want to improve your relationships, I look forward to supporting you. It’s important to me that you feel comfortable being and expressing your whole self in therapy.
My Practice
You can expect me to be compassionate, patient and flexible in session. If you are slower to warm up or want to take a pause from various topics, that is ok! I understand that not everyone is an open book meeting someone for the first time. If you know what you goals are and what you are looking to get from therapy, that is great too!
Clinical Interests
Works with individuals and families, particularly teens and adults, who are seeking support, empowerment, and personal growth. Has a strong interest in working with clients who identify as part of marginalized groups or ethnic backgrounds and who are looking for a compassionate, collaborative space to explore their experiences and goals.
Specialties
Individual and Family Therapy, Adolescent and Adult Support, Empowerment of Marginalized Communities, Cultural and Identity Exploration, Emotional Support, Strengths Based Care, Culturally Responsive Therapy
More About Kalyn
When I’m Not in Session
I like to travel and attend concerts. I also love music, and have paint-and sip nights. If I have free time, I love to read any books by Colleen Hoover. I also love to try new foods and my new favorite food is Pho. Spending time with friends and family is also important to me!
