Are you someone who finds yourself feeling unseen or misunderstood in traditional therapy settings? Have you noticed that standard, “one-size-fits-all” approaches don't align with your cultural identities, needs, and experiences? If so, you are in the right place, and I’m so happy you’re here. I’m Kamaria :) I’m an intuitive, decolonized, and depth-oriented therapist who enjoys helping people connect with themselves. My practice is built on anti-oppressive and decolonial values, and centers Black/Brown people, as well as LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, and liberatory-focused folks across all backgrounds.

I utilize evidence-based approaches, including ACT, EMDR, and IFS to support self- acceptance and healing.
Your mind doesn’t shut off. You replay conversations, second-guess yourself, and feel pressure to get everything right. You’re worn down by overthinking, comparing, and trying to hold it all together. You want your mind quieter, your emotions steadier, and to stop feeling like you’re too much or not enough. I work with teen girls and women who feel anxious, overwhelmed, and disconnected, including those navigating pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, and the identity shifts that come with motherhood. I see people at their core and want them to feel safe. I’m unconditionally accepting of who you are and what you bring to the table.

Hi, I'm Mika. Before moving into private practice, I worked in a university counseling setting, where I encountered clients presenting to therapy to address a wide range of struggles and life transitions. That experience deepened my understanding of how layered and complex our idea of “wellness” can be. It underscored the importance of exploring a person’s inner world—how their past, relationships, and search for meaning intersect in the ongoing work of living a more integrated and authentic life.

I draw on ACT, CBT, and trauma-informed care in a warm, nonjudgmental space.
I became a counselor because I witnessed the transformative power of being seen, heard, and supported during life's hardest moments. I know how heavy anxiety spirals into worry feel, when past trauma lingers and affects daily life, life transitions leave you lost or overwhelmed, relationships strain under unspoken hurts, or a new baby brings unexpected sadness instead of joy. Having someone walk alongside you through these challenges, or seasons of growth, is profoundly impactful. My passion is helping individuals and couples feel empowered, understood, and equipped for lasting change.
