Hi, I am Octavia a therapist at Your Voice Matters Therapy. I am accepting new clients so feel free to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. I aim to create a warm, safe, confidential, and judgment-free space for clients. It is important for clients to have such a space to be able to unpack and explore all that is bothering them. I work with clients through a few different approaches such as strength-based, Humanistic, and mindfulness. Therapy is not one size fits all and thus I tailor my work to each individual client. I believe that everyone is the author of their life story. In that story, you may experience many challenges, but know that you do not have to face those challenges alone. Together we can work through those challenges so that you are ready and prepared for whatever other challenges the future may hold. Together we will build a tool kit to help you continue your life story. Do not end it here!

Support can be hard to come by. In times of stress it can be helpful to have a space where you can process the challenges that you experience in life. The hardest part of the process in seeking therapy is in making initial contact. Having a therapist that can work collaboratively from a nonjudgmental and compassionate place. It is important for the client to feel comfortable in order to engage in a meaningful and authentic way. With 10 years of clinical, assessment, and research experience, in addition to my lived experience as a person with multiple intersecting identities, I can utilize these experiences to help bring context to clients in our session. Increasing the client’s capacity for self-reflection is foundational to my work and I place great emphasis on respect and transparency. Through our work together it is my hope that we can work towards growth and empowerment while gaining the skills to navigate the hardships that you face in life.
