What sets Kirin apart is the way she shows up in the work. She is deeply present with her patients and values a relationship that goes beyond surface-level care. She doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment, instead, she works alongside each person to find what truly resonates and leads to sustainable change. Whether that means refining medications, building practical coping tools, or exploring deeper therapeutic work, she remains committed to helping patients move toward a life that feels more aligned, stable, and meaningful. Outside of her clinical work, Kirin enjoys hiking, running, ecstatic dance, contact improv, traveling, playing guitar, participating in cacao ceremonies, and practicing Vipassana and yin yoga.
