Creating Deeper Connecting
After years of working with couples in her private practice, Kira recognized the need for accessible, high-quality relationship education beyond the therapy room. This vision led to the creation of Deeper Connecting—a platform offering courses, retreats, and resources designed to help couples at every stage of their relationship journey.
Teaching and Speaking

Personal Philosophy
"Every relationship has challenges, but those challenges are opportunities for growth and deeper connection. My mission is to provide couples with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to transform their relationship into the partnership they've always dreamed of."
When she's not working with couples, Kira enjoys spending time with her family, practicing yoga, and exploring new hiking trails.
