Hi, I'm Malia. Everyone deserves the experience of feeling truly understood, and I would be honored to offer you that space.
I became a therapist because I believe feeling genuinely seen is one of the most healing parts of the work. My hope is that you leave each session feeling lighter, more hopeful, and empowered to move forward.
My work is grounded in trauma-informed care and family systems, and I draw on CBT, Attachment-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, strengths-based approaches, mindfulness, and EMDR-informed interventions.
I especially love working with children, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, life changes, and questions of identity. I also support adults working through difficult experiences, relationship challenges, or healing from the past.
