Hi, I’m Wanika! I hold a Master of Science in Forensic Psychology, which has helped shape my understanding of human behavior, trauma, and the many experiences that influence our emotional well-being.

I am passionate about creating a welcoming, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to share their story, explore their experiences, and work toward meaningful growth in an environment where they can truly be themselves.

I have a special interest in working with individuals who have experienced trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), as well as those navigating difficult life circumstances. My approach is rooted in person-centered and trauma-informed care, with an emphasis on understanding each client’s unique background, experiences, and strengths. I value working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and strive to ensure that everyone feels respected, understood, and supported throughout their therapeutic journey.

As I continue developing my clinical skills, I look forward to incorporating approaches that honor each client’s individual needs and goals while fostering resilience, self-awareness, and personal growth.

Whether you’re processing past experiences, navigating current challenges, or simply looking for a space to better understand yourself, my goal is to walk alongside you with empathy, curiosity, and encouragement as you move toward healing and meaningful change.
