Introduction

Hi, I'm Wayna! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, or major life transitions, I'm here to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, process difficult emotions, and build the tools needed to move forward. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches to help clients develop resilience, improve emotional well-being, and create meaningful change. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. Together, we'll work toward helping you heal, grow, and become the healthiest version of yourself. It would be an honor to be part of your journey.
