Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. — Helen Keller, U.S. author, educator, and disability rights advocate. I have always been a firm believer that everyone can benefit from talking to someone and it sometimes takes a lot to enter into the journey of self-awareness that comes with seeking counseling. Whether it be complex grief and trauma or day to day stressors, I look forward to being a part of your healing process.

Mayya Wellness is a safe haven, where children, teens and families can learn to develop trust, foster confidence in themselves and the work we do together, and look forward to the beautiful therapeutic process that takes place when we align our hearts.
I am a modern and hip child/adolescent and adult psychotherapist looking to remove the stigma of therapy by making it accessible, solution based and engaging to young kids and teens. Therapy shouldn't be a punishment or a seen as a defeat. Yes of course, we will do hard work and it won't always be easy, but with years of experience and education, I am able to connect with my young clients and show them that together we can find a solution.

No matter what struggles one's past might hold, I believe all people have the power to improve their lives once they gain insight and skills through therapy. While I have worked successfully with clients experiencing a variety of concerns, I specialize in helping people who are interested in overcoming symptoms related to trauma and anxiety. In addition to my advanced training and individual work with this population, I have also developed and facilitated therapeutic groups for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and women who have experienced trauma of any kind.

In treatment with couples and families, I help people move from battlefields and destructiveness to the development of intimate, safe, secure connections.
Creating the space for reflection is hard, especially in the midst of our busy lives. Many people feel stuck in difficult patterns, not knowing how to be happy. In a collaborative atmosphere, I can help you develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others. With sensitivity, compassion, and attention to your strengths, together we can identify your goals and help you meet these. Using emotion-focused work is particularly helpful because our feelings offer us a roadmap to our psyche. In other words, our emotions clue us in to what motivates, reinforces, or is aversive to us. Emotions drive our reactivity, thoughts, and mood.

Outside of being a therapist, I love to cook with my family, kayak, and build legos with my kids.
When you think about a better future for yourself, what do you envision? Are you feeling less stressed? Are you more confident? Is your relationship thriving? Are you getting more time to do the things you love? Therapy is a journey to find a path towards those goals. Therapy is an individualized process. Sometimes, we aren’t always aware of the thoughts, beliefs, and situations that prevent us from feeling better or getting our needs met. Other times, we are aware of these things but unsure on how to limit how much they impact us and how we can manage them.

I primarily use Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Safe and Sound Protocol, Hypnosis, Expressive Arts, and Relational Psychodynamic Therapy.
Is simply talking not helping you to heal in the ways you know are possible? Do you know what actions will help you, but find that the emotions and body refuse to follow? Are you looking for deep healing that acknowledges the complexity of external factors, yet allows you to go deep into your body, your consciousness, and creativity to access the healing within you? If these words resonate with you, I'd love to explore with you. I use many unconventional tools that we can fit to match your intentions, alongside talk therapy. I expressly accept most insurance because of my desire to offer quality therapy not typically covered.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
