Meet De'Aja
I have over eight years of experience with helping clients improve their mental wellness and overall quality of life. I am particularly passionate about working with clients who seek support in managing depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Through our sessions, we work together to identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs that may keep you “stuck.” I am adept at helping clients shape negative patterns into positive, constructive beliefs. Clients are empowered to make changes that lead to increased fulfillment.
I specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma or distressing life events. These events impact our ability to truly show up in our present lives. Trauma tends to influence how we think, feel, and behave. These experiences also have a way of wreaking havoc on our relationships. By creating a safe and supportive environment, I encourage clients to explore their past traumas and work through the emotions associated with them. I have specialized training in trauma-focused modalities that equip clients with the tools to continue their healing journey.
