Why Work With Me?

Hi, I’m Akinlana, the “Hey Sis!” Therapist.

I bring a unique perspective as a trauma-informed therapist with a unique Afro Caribbean background and years of cross-cultural experience. My practice integrates EMDR and expressive arts therapy with traditional talk therapy, tailored to meet high-achievers like you, unique needs. Together, we will work to unravel the impact of trauma, helping you find balance, peace of mind, and joy in your life again.
