Kira holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Education from the University of New Brunswick in Saint John. While she valued her years working as an elementary school teacher, she pursued advanced training and earned a Master of Education in Counselling from the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton in 2019. Since then, she has been dedicated to supporting and advocating for students in her role as a School Counsellor with the Anglophone South School District.

Kira is a Canadian Certified Counsellor and a Licensed Counselling Therapist Candidate with the College of Licensed Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick. She takes an integrative approach to counselling, grounded in a humanistic and trauma-informed framework, and tailors her work to each client’s unique needs. Her practice incorporates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Outside of her professional work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends—especially her two sons—along with travelling, reading, and being outdoors hiking and paddleboarding.
