I'm Nia (she/they/fae), M.A., LMHC-A, National Certified Counselor, certified therapeutic astrologer, trained Hakomi practitioner, and certified death doula.
My calling is to share space that is soulful, compassionate, and life-affirming. Although aspects of therapy (and therefore the self) may be painful or challenging, I am here to greet the already-existing sense of truth within you and support connection, re-sourcing, value and integration.
Committing to wellness and sensitivity-related acceptance may be the hardest decision you have ever made. I offer you directness and compassion amid all the potentials of change and choice. What brings you here may include senses of heightened awareness, altered states of consciousness, grief, death anxiety, and a lack of clear communication or expression. There is space for all of your emotions/experiences within the scope of my practice.
Let's connect; an initial session helps us determine our working compatibility.
Our working alliance
Do you have barriers to effectively communicating your emotional needs?
Maybe you are an outlier who wants to cultivate internal acceptance.
Do you hold grief that you want to alleviate at your own pace?
I hold special interest in guiding folx through complex emotional terrain. This includes healing from grief and death anxiety, navigating relational challenges, processing anomalous experiences, and developing assertive communication skills.
Especially dear to me is the work I do with people who have experienced sexual or religious trauma, or a combination thereof.
I'm also especially passionate about supporting creatives and those integrating spiritual/extraordinary phenomena for deeper self-worth. My near-decade of experience as a professional astrologer roundly informs this type of work.
Clients who do well with my approach are open-minded and flexible, and who come prepared with precise intentions for each meeting.
Therapy is one way of accessing inner wisdom. The therapeutic process continue to highlight difficult emotions as you assert your desires and intentions to live well. Communication issues, break-ups (platonic and romantic), relocation stress and grief, end-of-life and caregiver processes, dream and nightmare processing, present-moment awareness all hold special interest in our work.
We can share an initial session to see how our therapeutic intentions may match.
