As a Trauma-Informed therapist, I believe Transitional Age Folx deserve support. I support clients who are dealing with past trauma or other disheartening experiences and want to rebuild confidence. I always start from a brave look at their unique strengths to develop and implement coping strategies that actually work. I have experience supporting adults, youth, and families from marginalized and institutional backgrounds. As a mental health professional, I advocate to break the stigma and bring awareness to emotional wellbeing & mental illness/instabilities, particularly within communities of color.

There’s so much I could say, but Eka is the best therapist I have ever experienced. Her style fits and she provides practical solutions with compassion and understanding. She is extremely culturally competent. That helps because I don’t have to explain certain cultural references to her. She is extremely well versed & knowledgeable about a variety of cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds and how those factors may affect me. Our communication styles mesh & I feel supported during our sessions.
