With a deep commitment to helping individuals process grief and trauma, Mya works closely with those who have experienced loss, difficult life changes, or past traumatic events. She incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques to help clients reframe negative thought patterns and build healthier coping strategies. She also offers faith-based treatment for those who wish to integrate spirituality into their healing process.

Mya has extensive experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those with adoption or foster care experiences. She understands the unique emotional challenges faced by these populations and tailors her approach to foster self-acceptance, identity exploration, and personal growth.

Outside of her clinical work, Mya values personal well-being and balance, recognizing the importance of self-care in maintaining mental health.
