During challenging seasons—whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or supporting a child with ADHD—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure where to begin. Therapy can offer not just relief, but a clear path forward. Ayanna believes that meaningful change begins within a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. She works to create a space that feels both safe and empowering—where clients can be open, understood, and supported without judgment.
With over 15 years of experience, Ayanna has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families across diverse backgrounds. She is particularly skilled in helping clients navigate life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and complex personal or family dynamics. Her approach is thoughtful and tailored, integrating multiple evidence-based modalities to meet each client’s unique needs. Together, you will explore both past experiences and present challenges, while building practical strategies that support emotional wellness, clarity, and long-term growth.
As an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), Ayanna provides professional clinical supervision for graduate-level clinicians in Maryland working toward state licensure. Her supervision is structured, practical, and grounded in ethical clinical practice. She supports emerging therapists in strengthening case conceptualization, clinical judgment, documentation, professional boundaries, and confidence in their work.
Individual and small-group supervision options are available.
Supervision is designed for clinicians who want more than required oversight—they want thoughtful feedback, stronger clinical skills, and space to grow into their professional identity.
