MY FOCUS

I understand you may feel as if life has turned upside down on you. Maybe you have relationship problems or a life-changing event that leaves you struggling, sad, or anxious. It’s natural to feel hesitant about taking the next step.

I will work to help you improve your mood, validate your feelings, boost your confidence, and help you feel more satisfied with your relationships.

Meet Ayana

What inspires me is seeing your progress while maintaining your authentic self. I am encouraged when you have small victories because change is possible.

I’ve had experiences that made me aware of the suffering and struggles that people go through in this world. Changing one life at a time creates a ripple effect. It doesn't only help one person improve their symptoms and life circumstances; it impacts families, peer relationships, and communities. 

I provide a safe, understanding, and supportive space to open up about what's really on your heart and mind. I am here to help you remain hopeful, gain skills, and encourage and motivate you. I do this by building on your own strengths while helping you establish new ones. You have what it takes to achieve your goals. I have a team approach. You're not in this alone. We'll achieve these goals together. 

Working together

I infuse our sessions with a unique recipe to make you feel whole: 

- 1/4 cup of gentleness

- 1/4 cup of honest discussion about what’s going on and how it relates to your goals

- 1/4 cup of keeping it real 

- 1/4 cup of [INDIVIDUALIZED THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES FOR YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS]

*and a dash of humor, if appropriate.*
