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.

Asking for help can be hard, and sometimes it feels overwhelming to think about making a change. Whether you’ve tried before or this is the first time you’ve considered it, therapy can bring up a lot of feelings—and that’s okay. I work with my clients from a caring and non-judgmental perspective, helping you identify your goals and developing a treatment plan so you can reach them. I believe in transparency and collaboration in all aspects of treatment, and work with you to foster insight and develop new skills to empower you and help you live your best life.

I believe that true healing happens when a challenge is addressed holistically, and when the client is seen as a whole person. Therapy with me is a safe space to explore your connection with any uncomfortable emotions, disruptive thoughts and behavioral patterns, as well as, complicated relationships with the individuals in your life. I am especially passionate about working with those who suffer with pain and trauma from the past and who are interested in exploring how it affects their everyday life.

Therapy is an incredibly vulnerable process that involves stripping down the emotional armor we have collected over years of struggle, insecurity, or fear. For some the idea of therapy feels like the sweetest release and for others this idea feels incredibly intimidating. Often times, individuals present for their first sessions after an acute stressor, a period of prolonged distress, or even a previously failed treatment. Regardless of the precipitating factor, people often enter therapy when they feel hurt and alone. Many come with bruised hearts and tired souls, uncertain of what their struggles mean about their ability to heal.

You have a sense that something from your past is holding you back, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. Maybe you grew up in a home that you think others might describe as average or even healthy, but you can't shake the feeling that something was missing. You had to take on adult responsibilities too early. You learned to adjust your behavior to minimize conflict or reduce the chaos of the household. You want to figure out who you are — how to open up about what you actually want and how you really feel — but you’re not sure if that’s even possible.
