About
I've been where you are. I understand the fear of sitting and addressing the trauma, the stress, and all the emotions. I am here to help. My name is Sasha. I am a Licensed Therapist in Georgia, with my education from Chaminade University in Hawaii (my second home). My education is focused on the science of counseling and how our brains adapt to change and process emotions. I am here to look at the big picture of what you are experiencing and find a unique path and plan to help you find the healed version of yourself.
My interest in working with neurodivergent clients is both personal and professional. I have people in my own life who are neurodivergent, and watching them navigate a world that wasn't built for their brains and all the anxiety, masking, and self-doubt that comes with that made me want to show up for this community in a real way.Clinically, so much of what I do is already a natural fit. My work centers on trauma, anxiety, and the exhausting patterns that come from spending years people-pleasing and shrinking yourself to fit in. For a lot of neurodivergent folks, that's not just a theme it's a lived reality. I use EMDR and somatic approaches that work with the nervous system directly, which can be especially powerful for clients who've felt dysregulated or "too much" their whole lives.I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I'm direct, I explain my reasoning, I welcome questions, and I'll never make you feel like you're "doing therapy wrong." If you've had experiences where you felt like too much or not enough, I want you to know there's a place here where that changes.
I start from the belief that you are not a collection of deficits to be fixed. Every person who walks into my office brings a unique way of moving through the world, and my job is to help you understand and build on that not pathologize it.In practice, that means I'm always looking for the intelligence behind your patterns. The hypervigilance that exhausts you? It kept you safe once. The masking that's worn you down? It was a creative adaptation. We honor where you've been while we work toward something that fits better.As a woman of color, I understand firsthand what it means to navigate spaces that weren't designed with you in mind and to carry the weight of that quietly. I also have personal experience with neurodivergence in my own life, which shapes how seriously I take the invisible labor my clients describe. I'm not just nodding along. I get it in a way that goes beyond the clinical.My approach is direct, collaborative, and free of judgment. I use EMDR and trauma-informed methods that work with your nervous system rather than against it. And I will never ask you to mask with me, whoever you are, however your brain works, you're welcome here as-is.
