About Nekea
offer clients a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can openly explore their identities, life experiences, and emotions. It's important to recognize that many people carry unspoken stories rooted in cultural identity, childhood trauma, and shame, often without having the language or support to process them. In our work together, I aim to help you give voice to those experiences, offering compassion, curiosity, and care as you make sense of your past and move toward healing
My approach
My approach is grounded in a deep commitment to inclusivity & collaboration. I value each person’s background, culture, and story, & I see therapy as something we build together. I use a mix of approaches based on needs, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), & the Gottman Method.
About me
Hi my name is Nekea (nuh-key-yah). As a woman of color, I understand how the different parts of “who we are”, our experiences, identities, and relationships, shape the way we see and move through the world. I strive to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and real, where you can show up fully without judgment.
