If you’ve ever felt like something in your life was “off,” but you couldn’t name it…
If you’ve kept the peace at the cost of your emotional or spiritual health…
If you’re longing for deeper connection in your marriage, your faith, or your parenting…
You’re in the right place.

I’m Kia—writer, therapist, and mom of three—and I help people like you find language for the tension, permission to feel deeply, and tools to move forward with courage.

What You’ll Find Here

You won’t find quick fixes or polished perfection.
You will find honest reflection, deeply researched insight, and spiritually grounded encouragement that makes space for both the beauty and the brokenness in your story.

Here, we wrestle with questions like:

• What does real peace actually look like in my life?

• How do I confront emotional pain without losing spiritual hope?

• Can conflict in my marriage or parenting be a pathway to connection?

• What can Scripture teach me about healing—not just spiritually, but emotionally and relationally?

I write essays and reflections that blend clinical insight, biblical truth, and personal stories—so you can walk away with clarity, compassion, and actionable hope.

Who I Am

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist, trauma-informed and spiritually grounded. As a writer and researcher I have been published in some places. I spend my days helping couples heal, guiding Church leaders through transformation, and raising three wildly wonderful kids alongside my husband, Alejandro.

My work is shaped by lived experience—foster parenting, cross-cultural ministry, spiritual deconstruction and reconstruction, and a daily commitment to emotional integrity.

But this space is less about my credentials and more about creating room for you to heal, explore, and experience transformation.

What I Believe

• Wholeness is possible—and it’s worth the work.

• Emotional honesty is not a threat to spiritual depth.

• Conflict is not the enemy of peace; avoidance is.

• Your body, your story, your relationships, and your questions all matter deeply to God.

Let’s Walk Together

Whether you’re here to read, reflect, rebuild, or rediscover your voice—I’m honored to walk with you.
Subscribe to my Substack Newsletter, where I share weekly reflections on faith, trauma, healing, and the holy tension in between.

Because real peace doesn’t come from pretending everything’s fine.
It comes from the slow, sacred work of letting love and truth transform us—one hard, beautiful moment at a time.
