About
Kai specializes in working with teens and adults on issues such as racial identity, LGBTQ+ concerns, trauma and PTSD, anxiety, and depression. With a queer-affirming and culturally-affirming approach, Kai creates a space for healing that is both personal and collective. They draw from various therapeutic modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), to provide a person-centered experience. Kai's work is influenced by anti-racist, systems-focused, trauma-informed, decolonial, and abolitionist perspectives. With a strong commitment to collaboration, Kai empowers clients to take an active role in their healing journey. Rooted Counseling has locations in East Lansing, Old Town, and Eastwood, and offers HIPAA-compliant telehealth services to residents of Michigan.
