I am therapist specializing in working with adults seeking trauma recovery. I began my career within the school system, facilitating Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills groups and advocating for the educational needs of students. While working within the school system, I found my true passion in providing direct clinical care to those struggling with an array of mental health conditions including depression, anxiety and trauma. Following my work within schools,I transitioned to working within teen and adult residential and intensive outpatient settings where I provided psychotherapy to those facing substance abuse, personality disorders and PTSD. Through her work in these settings, I additionally assisted clients in connecting with resources that could benefit their overall growth and development including vocational services, medication management and education.

The past few years have been extremely difficult for many people and may have caused or intensified emotional health struggles. It is common to feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of how to move forward. If you are feeling emotionally drained, struggling with anxiety, depression, panic, or no longer finding enjoyment in life the way you once did, you are not alone. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but meaningful growth and healing are possible.

I’m Alyiah, Licensed Professional Counselor, and I provide therapy that is warm, direct, and actually useful in real life.

I help clients who feel stuck in patterns—overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional burnout, or relationship cycles—and want clarity on how to move differently. My background in psychology and criminology helps me quickly connect patterns so we’re not just talking, we’re understanding and shifting what’s keeping you stuck.

If spirituality is important to you, we can also integrate that into your work in a way that feels aligned and supportive.
