"Life is what happens to us while we're busy making other plans (Allen Saunders)." Depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, loneliness, life changes, indecision, performance issues, impulsivity . . . we all struggle with something; it's part of being human. And at times, it's more than we can manage on our own. Psychotherapy can help. My passion is to collaborate with you to discover what is troubling you, to support you in realizing the life you envision, and begin functioning at the highest level possible, both personally and professionally.

Hello, my name is Aliya and I am here for you! I have a passion for helping women evolve and heal from life transitions. I graduated with a bachelors in psychology and a masters in social work. It is a honor to help women navigate life while providing them the tools to improve mental wellness. It is essential to me that you feel safe, heard, and empowered in your sessions. I prioritize building a relationship with my clients because I know how scary it can be to open up to a stranger. I use an eclectic approach because I know one style does not work for all.

I believe there is an innate desire within every human to be seen and heard, and to receive value and significance. For so many, a message filled with lies was internalized, “Who cares what I think? My feelings aren't important.” My NUMBER ONE focus is to create an atmosphere where my clients feel at ease, and valued and given the freedom to tell their unique and personal story. The meaning of “Therapy” to me is this, “Therapy is the miracle of, “You tell” and “I listen”. Therapy is the wonder of being heard and understood.” The goal of therapy is for the "best you" to emerge as skills and strategies are learned and implemented.

I am a kinda nerdy therapist who works with those who love Fantasy, Sci-fi and fandom communities learn how to level up emotionally, break old patterns, and build a life that is aligned with their values. I use ACT, which is grounded in connecting with our core values and strengths, and a therapy space that genuinely understands our inner worlds. I specialize in supporting men move from avoidance to action, from self criticism into self leadership, and from feeling stuck to more grounded.

Life transitions and aging often invite deeper questions—about identity, purpose, loss, and what truly matters now. You may find yourself letting go of roles, abilities, or expectations that once defined you, while sensing the quiet emergence of something new. Therapy can be a sacred pause—a place to listen inwardly and honor this unfolding chapter of your life.

By the time you make the call for counseling, Life has taken a toll in some serious regard. Brokenness has come upon you in relationship, in spirit, in feeling overwhelmed by challenges. In a serendipitous manner, we come together, as you seek healing and I, as your counselor, strive to be a help and an encourager into a new and brighter day. It is a deep honor and privilege for me to embrace the broken soul and to be trusted to join in the journey from being lost, stuck, or in pain into the possibility of wellness and joy.

Weary, tired, worn out, burned out, and struggling to find a way forward that makes sense. Regretful of choices. Filled with shame. Disconnected from God, others, and my own soul. Abandoned.
