Great to meet you!

Welcome! My name is Aviana but I commonly go by Avi. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I believe that healing involves caring for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're seeking support during a difficult season or looking to deepen your overall well-being, I am honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and wholeness.I have experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, stress, relationship challenges, self-esteem, grief, and burnout. My goal is to help clients reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and cultivate balance in all aspects of their lives. I am dedicated to helping teens, adults, and couples navigate life's challenges with compassion, authenticity, and hope.

My approach to therapy

My holistic approach to therapy recognizes that emotional well-being is deeply connected to our physical health, relationships, life experiences, values, and environment.

I believe that healing is not just about reducing symptoms—it's about fostering self-awareness, personal growth, and living a life aligned with your values. I work collaboratively with individuals to identify their strengths, develop healthy coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. Drawing from evidence-based therapeutic approaches while honoring each person's unique journey, I integrate mindfulness, self-compassion, and wellness practices into the therapeutic process when appropriate.

What you can expect from me

I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered.
