Hi there, I'm Akamin!

Welcome to therapy! I'm grateful you've taken this courageous first step towards healing. I work with clients navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, depression, grief, and substance use. It's an honor to support individuals like you on their healing journey.

My focus

I work with individuals facing anxiety, vocational stress, relationship conflicts, trauma, depression, grief, PTSD, substance abuse, and eating disorders. Your input is invaluable, and I encourage open communication throughout our work together.

My approach

My primary goal is creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe in the power of shared humanity—we all face challenges, and seeking support is a sign of strength. Therapy is collaborative; we'll work together to understand your unique needs and develop strategies for growth.
