Professional statement

Ayana is an expressive arts therapist who integrates various therapeutic theories and modalities to tailor interventions to each client's needs. She works collaboratively to deeply understand and support her clients' processes, combining empathy, creative tools, and clinical expertise.

Message to clients

My hope is to help my clients first and foremost, feel seen, heard, and understood. An important aspect in the healing process is to be validated in your experience. From there, I want my clients to gain an understanding and deep insight, so they can learn and grow from their current emotional or mental position. I aim to build resiliency, hope, acceptance, understanding, and empathy in my clients, cresting a positive ripple effect in their lives and the lives of those connected to them. I hope to endow them with tools, understanding, knowledge, and insight that will contribute to their process of healing, to be used whenever needed throughout their lives.
