MD
Hello, I'm Ayana. Exhale. You BELONG here! Are you at a crossroads in your life, questioning your identity, or seeking ways to cope with life's challenges? Ready to embark on a transformative journey? The path to self-discovery is a continuous process that requires time, effort, and dedication. Taking the step to seek therapy is the first stride towards becoming your best self. Welcome to Emerald Essence Therapy, where I am committed to guiding you through life armed with the essential tools for success. Your well-being is my top priority, and together, we can thrive. I specialize in addressing anger management, anxiety, depression, family relationships, gender identity, grief/bereavement, LGBTQIA+ support, life transitions, multicultural/diversity issues, sex/intimacy issues, trauma, and stress. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and authentic space where you can share, process, and grow. With a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland, I bring over a decade of experience to the table. My background includes working in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, providing individual, group, and family therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical and have completed the SonderMind Baseline Veteran Education Program. In my practice, I focus on adults, utilizing therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Client-Centered Therapy, and I am trained to provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I employ diverse modalities to help you unveil your inner strength, empowering you to live the life you desire. My therapeutic goal is to build a trusting partnership, offering non-judgmental support as we navigate life together. Believing in the capacity of each individual to heal from emotional pain, I assist you in recognizing and challenging behavior patterns, relationship dynamics, habits, and long-held beliefs hindering your emotional well-being.
