Introduction

Hello and welcome! I’m Akeera. For me, therapy is an allyship—a partnership where you are heard, understood, and respected through life’s challenges. Together, we create a safe space for you to heal and shape a meaningful life. I provide an inclusive, affirming, and decolonial space for individuals navigating trauma, identity, and emotional challenges. I specialize in working with those impacted by relational, systemic, environmental, and man-made traumas. Communities I support include (but are not limited to): -BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) -LGBTQIA+, TGNC individuals -Creative spirits, healers, introverts, empaths -Community members, knowledge-seekers, and those reclaiming their healing Every person is unique. I use an eclectic blend of evidence-based modalities and theories, tailoring my approach to your individual needs and experiences.
