Hi there, I'm Auria. I help adults combat perfectionism, people-pleasing, negative self-talk, and anxious-attachment. Together, we can work toward bridging the gap between the life you have and the life you want. We will use our time in therapy to work through what has been holding you back, causing your anxieties, or making you feel less than your worth. Our therapy sessions will incorporate healing past traumas alongside accomplishing present goals. We will focus on self-care, mental well-being, and emotional awareness. I ensure my clients learn to successfully and confidently manage the things that initially seem like a struggle.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During the first session, I will check what prompted my client to initiate therapy and what "therapy" means to them. This discussion will help me understand my client's needs, so I can ensure each session is meaningful or empowering moving forward. Overall, I want my clients to feel that they are getting exactly what they intended to as therapy progresses.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I specialize in working with women, BIPOC, and individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+. Separating societal messages from personal truth is the most important part of living authentically and wholly. Due to my cultural background, I also work with clients from interracial households and first/second generation households. Balancing multiple cultures is difficult and anxiety-provoking, and I personally understand that experience.
