I am licensed in Louisiana with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, anger management, & the treatment of serious mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. This means that I am always listening out for unhealthy thinking patterns and/or feelings that are working to sabatoge relationships and promote maladaptive behaviors. I'm also solution-focused. This means that we will not only have open discussions, but we will be ACTIVELY working on the ways to solve the problems that led you to therapy. I look forward to this work with you!
Additional areas of focus: Chronic pain, illness, and disability, Communication problems, Control issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Mood disorders, Post-traumatic stress, Self-love, Women's issues, Workplace issues

Rukiya is great in analyzing the patient’s situation. She will work on making points and goals for every session which is very helpful to have a successful conversation. Overall she is very very supportive. You can always communicate with her to adjust the dynamics.
