Hello,

I’m Akilah,

A Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over nine years of experience helping individuals and couples heal, grow, and reconnect.

Why I Became a Therapist

My passion for helping people build healthier, more meaningful lives is what led me to become a marriage and family therapist. I believe that both personal growth and healthy relationships are foundational to well-being.

Over the years, I’ve been honored to guide individuals and couples in healing emotional wounds, overcoming shame, and rebuilding intimacy and connection. Witnessing this transformation—whether in someone’s relationship or within themselves—fuels my dedication to this work.

My Focus:

Healing and Reconnection

Through my work, I’ve discovered that the challenges people face often reveal deeper emotional wounds or unmet needs.

These issues—whether they manifest as low self-esteem, emotional disconnection, or unresolved trauma—can prevent individuals and couples from fully experiencing the love and fulfillment they deserve.

My goal is to help you uncover and heal these hidden barriers, so you can break unhealthy cycles, heal past wounds, and create deeper emotional and sexual wellness.

Together, we’ll transform pain points into opportunities for growth, helping you reconnect with yourself or your partner on a deeper level.

My Approach

I blend proven methods like EFT, IMAGO, Narrative Therapy, ACT, and Gottman techniques to create a safe space for exploring your emotional and relational patterns.

Whether you're focused on individual healing or relationship growth, my approach centers on:

  • Healing Generational Trauma and Emotional Wounds: Addressing past hurts and building emotional resilience for a more fulfilling life.

  • Breaking Unhealthy Patterns: Guiding you to break cycles of hurt and move toward healthier, more secure connections.

  • Strengthening Intimacy and Self-Love: Helping you improve communication, deepen emotional and sexual connection, and build self-worth.

Let's Work Together

If you’re ready to heal, grow, and reconnect—whether with yourself or your partner—I invite you to connect with me.

Together, we can uncover what’s holding you back, heal emotional wounds, and create a life or relationship that aligns with your deepest values and desires.
