Hello! I'm Akhila (she/they), a therapist who believes in creating a safe space for genuine connection and growth. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, anger, isolation, perfectionism, or relationship issues, know that you're not alone! I welcome your full range of emotions, and aim to help you to experience yourself as inherently worthy of safety, respect, and deep connections with others. My practice incorporates wisdom from various cultures and scientific studies, including my background in biochemistry, allowing me to explore generational trauma and its impact on our minds and spirits from a holistic perspectives
Healing is a unique journey for everyone. I celebrate neurodiversity and utilize various techniques, like art therapy, DBT, parts work, and somatic therapy to tailor a plan that works for you. Together we can explore your past through a decolonial lens and work to dismantle the effects of oppressive systems.
Life can be difficult, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I offer a collaborative and empowering space where we can work together to cultivate self-awareness, emotional release, and help you align with your authentic self. Let's embark on this journey of healing and liberation – I'd be honored to be your guide.

Transitional Characters
Liberation psychology is rooted in decolonizing the mind, body, and spirit. Equipped with the historical perspective rooted in anti-oppression we learn not to blame ourselves for systems that harm all of us, and to focus on the liberation of all people. We aim to heal the divisions caused by colonial oppression in relationships, experiences, ideas, and surroundings using reconciliatory and norm-breaking methods that challenge the status quo. Only by exploring multi-generational trauma, being honest with ourselves, and re-centering the collective will begin to facilitate our own healing.
