Hi there, my name is Akhila! I believe the human spirit is resilient, no matter the trauma, hardships, or challenges faced. In our work together, I hope to create a connection with you that puts us on equal footing – prioritizing mutual trust, compassion, safety, and collaboration. You know yourself best, and I am committed to learning and understanding who you are in order to facilitate your journey of self-discovery. My role is to listen to your stories, share reflections, and explore the underlying meanings and emotions of what comes up.
My approach is relational and intersectional, rooted in culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive frameworks that center my clients’ unique experiences. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults, dealing with a variety of difficulties such as trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, family dynamics, and resilience, among others.
It is an honor to witness the sense of freedom and new-found agency that occurs when a person is given the space to better understand themselves. I believe that within every person lies the answers – healing is realigning oneself back to ways of knowing and relating that already exist within us.
My intention is to foster a holistic therapy experience that attends to the mind, body and spirit. Healing through therapy has been world-expanding for myself and my loved ones, and I hope to facilitate that process in a meaningful way for others.
