Meet Aisha

My focus is on supporting adults navigating anxiety, OCD, and trauma. My approach integrates therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), and parts work. My goal is to create a relaxed, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable showing up as yourself. Together, we will use practical strategies and deeper processing to reduce distress, strengthen coping skills, and support meaningful, lasting change.

I have extensive experience helping people navigate anxiety, work through trauma, and manage life's challenges.
