Hi! I’m Ayana, a Resident in Counseling who believes in the transformative power of understanding, connection, and healing.
I have worked closely with adults of various ages, socio-economic status, and gender identity. My specialties include religious trauma, life transitions, and identity exploration. I have a strong passion for working with individuals of racial and ethnic minorities.
My approach to therapy is compassionate, trauma-informed, and personalized, blending evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My office is a safe and affirming space to problem solve and to be open without fear of judgement.
Together, we can create a lifestyle that aligns with your aspirations for growth and well-being.
