With Aliya, you can expect a warm, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where healing unfolds at your pace. She supports kids, teens, and adults in processing trauma, managing anxiety, and navigating identity or life transitions through EMDR, DBT, and Trauma-Focused CBT.
Aliya’s approach is collaborative and affirming, centered on helping clients build confidence, emotional balance, and connection. No matter your background or story, she strives to create a space where you feel seen, accepted, and empowered to reclaim your voice and move toward lasting healing.
At the core of my work is creating a space that feels safe, non-judgmental, and truly supportive for kids, teens and adults. I believe healing begins when we’re met with compassion, curiosity, and the freedom to show up as our full selves, without pressure to mask, explain, or fit into someone else’s expectations.
My approach is collaborative and affirming. I primarily use EMDR, DBT, and Trauma Focused CBT adapted to honor your nervous system, communication style, and lived experience. Whether you’re processing past trauma, managing anxiety, navigating burnout, or exploring identity, I’m here to support your unique path forward — at your pace.
I work with clients of all identities and backgrounds, and I’m committed to anti-oppressive, inclusive care. Healing isn’t about “fixing” — it’s about reclaiming your voice, honoring your truth, and finding ways of existing that feel safe, empowered, and sustainable.
