Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


Hi hi, I’m Ajalaa!


I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who works with adults and older teens (17+) navigating the very real, sometimes messy parts of life — relationships, identity, big life changes, chronic illness, anxiety, feeling stuck, or those “I have no idea what I’m doing right now” seasons.


If the idea of therapy feels a little awkward or intimidating, you’re definitely not alone. You don’t need to walk into my office with the perfect words, a list of goals, or even know exactly what’s bothering you. Just walk in as you, and we can figure the rest out together.... (that's my favorite part)!


My style is warm, down-to-earth, collaborative, and very much human. Therapy with me isn’t about sitting across from someone who just nods and asks, “And how does that make you feel?” for 50 minutes. We’ll talk, laugh when it’s appropriate, sit with the hard stuff when we need to, and work together to actually understand what’s going on beneath the surface.
