Hi, I’m Akela! I view therapy as physical therapy, but for emotional wounds. It’s about working through emotional hardships instead of ignoring them. At times, this process can feel difficult because we are “exercising” the areas that have been hurt, but through that work, it can lead to healing, growth, and resilience. I work with individuals who are trying to navigate through life's challenges like depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and life transitions. I am here to provide you with a space to grow in your journey toward healing and personal growth.

My clients often begin therapy because they recognize a need for change. These realizations can be difficult to deal with, so I respect them. I am also excited by these moments because they are the beginning of the healing process. Through therapy, I help clients develop a greater understanding of who they are and what got them to this point in life. From there, we explore what their goals are, and we develop a plan to achieve these goals.

Why go to therapy? Therapy can be an incredible tool to help guide us in any stage of life. As a therapist, I seek to create an open and trusting space for you to be heard, to better understand yourself and to develop strategies that help you to navigate life with a healthy mindset. Services are guided by your individual needs, as healing comes in many forms. The therapeutic strategies that I use are guided by a trauma informed lens that allows for the use of strategies beyond only traditional "talk therapy". Ie. somatic (body), movement, creative expression, play and much more!

I have been in professional psychological practice since 1979, been married many years, raised 2 children and shared in raising 3 step-children, so I have many years of clinical and personal experience on which to draw. However, I am always learning and growing, and enjoy sharing the journey of self-discovery with my clients/patients. I tailor my psychological treatment with individuals (adults, adolescents, and children), couples, and families to each person's unique situation. I utilize a variety of different treatment approaches, depending on the problems presented, ranging from cognitive-behavioral, insight, family systems, to supportive reality therapy.

Are you tired of not feeling like enough — good enough, whole enough, perfect enough?
Maybe you're the one who does it all. The good kid nobody had to worry about. The mediator, the peacemaker. Maybe you're exhausted from holding it together, tired of feeling burnt out and inconsistent. Or maybe you or someone you love has experienced psychosis — the unsettling sense of being watched, or that people are out to get you.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to help you find your own direction and build a life that feels truer to who you are.
