Accepting New Clients

Hello! I'm Malika, LPC

I'm so glad you're here! Taking the first step to find a therapist can be daunting. I understand because I've been there - the fear of opening up to someone new, questioning if they'll actually help or if you will end up disappointed in yet another failed relationship, and worry that misery is your default.By sitting with those thoughts and searching anyways, you have taken the biggest step and you are one step closer to reclaiming power from your anxious mind. That deserves some celebration!

Person-first approach

Every person is unique and so is their journey.

Something brought you here — a pattern you can't quite break, a relationship that keeps unraveling the same way, or anxiety that won't quiet even when life looks fine on paper. You've tried to push through it. You've stayed busy, logical, functional. But there's still this feeling, like your life is stuck on one level of a game and no one ever showed you how to get to the next level. That part of you that wants to feel free, connected, and genuinely at home in yourself. It's what brought you to Google, searching for someone to understand. That's the part I work with.With over 6 years of experience, my work is attachment-based and trauma-informed — exploring the root of what drives our patterns so we can do more than manage them (or them managing us, I should say). I use ACT, CBT, and mindfulness approaches to help you find safety within your body and step into a version of your life that actually feels like you.

You are not alone.
