Great to meet you!

Do you feel like you’ve been surviving, but are longing to truly start living? Are you seeking deeper self-awareness and alignment in your mind, body, and spirit?

My name is Nia and I am an Integrative Somatic and Mental Health Therapist, Herbalist, and “emotional translator” dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with themselves and live their most purposeful lives.

At the core of my work is presence. To truly see and support my clients, I ground myself in connection—allowing space for individuals to feel seen, heard, and understood in ways they may never have before. Through nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and exploration of unmet needs across life’s domains, I guide clients from reactivity toward balance, alignment, and empowerment.

I work best with individuals who are in a place of stabilization and are ready to deepen their self-awareness, strengthen their sense of empowerment, and step into their fullest expression. Together, we will explore your roots, cultivate resilience, and create the conditions for growth, healing, and self-actualization.

My approach to therapy

I take an integrative, holistic approach that weaves together emotionally-, attachment-, and trauma-focused psychotherapy; with Somatic Experiencing. Polyvagal Theory, Yoga therapy, Mindfulness, spiritual herbalism, and holistic practices rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine. My work is rooted in presence and connection—I help clients regulate their nervous systems, build awareness, and reconnect to themselves so they can move from surviving to thriving. Together, we explore unmet needs across life’s domains and work toward balance, alignment, and living more purposefully.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to feel truly seen and supported in a safe, grounded space. Over time, they’ll gain tools for nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and effective communication, as well as practices that nurture self-empowerment and resilience. Ultimately, clients walk away with a deeper connection to themselves, greater balance in their lives, and the ability to live more fully and authentically.
