Just so you can get to know me a bit better: I am a mental health counselor with a PhD in Health Psychology, which focuses on how different layers like biology, psychology, cultural, social, and environments factors influence health and wellness (that's a mouthful)! I know that having online therapy is a unique experience and different than what it would be if you saw me in my office for one hour a week. I also know each person I talk with has their own ideas and feelings about therapy and what it may be like. If we were together in my office, I would probably have a cup of coffee, sitting relaxed with you...chatting for a few minutes before we begin. And I would tell you to please call me Deb! So just imagine an incredibly relaxing environment, super comfortable, and me genuinely smiling at you and asking how you are doing, and what has brought you to therapy... Being a feminist therapist, the way I approach our relationship is collaborative...so we will both share our thoughts and ideas as we decide what to do. My approach to therapy is humanistic; I honor each story as a collection of experiences...continuously evolving. This perspective is not about shortcomings, but one of optimism, focusing on the strength of the human spirit to overcome challenges and seek fulfillment.

My ideal client is either someone that has been having difficulty connecting to themselves with knowing who they are or what they want after a life-transition, a traumatic event, an Autism or CPTSD diagnosis, or maybe for the first time ever. Or someone trying to connect better to the people around them in building their friend group, their sense of community, their bond with their children, or their intimacy with their romantic partner. My specialty is helping neurodivergent adults feel connected to themselves and others. I offer neurodivergent affirming evaluations for Autism, C-PTSD, & ESA letters, coaching, and therapy using primarily TF-CBT, Satir growth model, MI, and SFBT to help clients utilize their strengths, accommodations, and social support network well enough to fire me! If you're feeling disconnected from what's most important to you, want to build on the skills you already have, and are ready to move towards your goals, please reach out to me so we can create change together!

I’m Nakei (pronounced Na-Key) and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who have had the pleasure of assisting individuals who faced challenges in areas just like you.
