Meet Nyia

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or struggling with boundaries or identity, you’re in the right place. I offer a space to explore your needs, reduce stress, and build confidence using a collaborative approach grounded in evidence-based care. In our sessions, you can expect a compassionate and judgment-free space. I help clients who feels overwhelmed, anxious, or stretched thin by life’s expectations. They may struggle with boundaries, cultural identity, relationships, or persistent stress. I have been a therapist for 10+ years. My background is in psychiatric social work, diagnostics and medication management,

My mission is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can pause, reflect, and begin emotional healing.
