Maliya does a great job connecting with my daughter and focusing on her needs. She is my daughters second try at a therapist and it was a match right away. She is also great at keeping the parent involved, bringing me in when needed. If I share an event that I think is important to discuss she ensures to incorporate it. And my favorite part is that she is treating her holistically how to protect her nervous system.

We could hear our 17 year old son talking quite a bit throughout the session which makes us very happy. We couldn't make out what he was saying but we are thrilled that he's able to open up and keep a conversation going for these sessions. Thank you for being so amazing. We are extremely pleased so far.

I am a compassionate Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over a decade of experience supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions. I work with clients ages 13–30 experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, stress, burnout, and other concerns that may impact their emotional well-being. My background includes healthcare, hospice, rehabilitation, child welfare, and community-based social work, providing me with a well-rounded understanding of the many factors that influence mental health. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe therapy should help clients recognize their strengths, develop healthy coping skills, build confidence, and gain the tools needed to navigate life with greater clarity, resilience, and purpose.
