Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

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!

She assists adults struggling with addictions, survivors of trauma and abuse, individuals managing anger, and those coping with serious mental health concerns such as bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress.

She cultivates an open, safe atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without fear of judgment, and she emphasizes support and empowerment throughout the change process. Rukiya recognizes that seeking a more fulfilling, happier life takes courage and she commits to walking alongside clients as they take those first steps.

As a cognitive behavioral therapist, she pays close attention to unhelpful thinking patterns and emotions that can undermine relationships and encourage maladaptive behaviors.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online truly makes a difference. For a range of common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and managing life transitions – online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

A major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect in the format that fits their needs and comfort level, choosing from video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care.

Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and clients can switch to a different therapist at any time if they prefer a new fit. For many people, remote therapy offers a practical, effective route to addressing everyday mental health concerns and navigating life changes.
