Relational Therapist for Stress Management
Hi! I'm Nakissa.
I have always had a passion for empowering others to live their life fully. I hope to help my clients address unhelpful or ineffective patterns and establish healthy strategies that allow them to reach their goals. My approach to therapy involves a culturally-aware and strengths-based lens, and I incorporate mindfulness and person-centered therapy into my work with clients. I’ve worked with clients from birth to end of life in a variety of settings, and enjoy working with clients of all ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, and religious beliefs. Humility, open-mindedness, and always holding the belief that you know what’s best for you are at the core of my work.
My process involves creating a non-judgemental and safe space to process difficult life challenges and events. I work with you to develop a treatment plan which will likely involve emotional processing, developing coping skills, and finding meaning in life.
You deserve the support of a relational therapist for stress Support.
Don’t go it alone. You deserve relief and help is available.
