The Ajayu Approach

Ajayu (ah-hi-yoo) is Quechua for Soul or Inner Spirit. People often experience therapy with me as conversational, grounding, relaxing, and authentic. Our work together will focus on identifying and connecting with your Ajayu.

About

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with the state of Massachusetts. I have my Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Philosophy. My education, professional experience, and lived experiences have strengthened my ability to help people heal from the stress and wounding of life and its many circumstances. As a therapist and a person I am kind, caring, humorous, political, honest, and open-minded. I joined this profession to help people and communities break generational cycles of abuse, stress and trauma. My hope for my clients is that by the time we end therapy you have the confidence to handle your shit by any means necessary.
