Tamaira Yahaya, AMFT

If overthinking, anxiety, or the pressure to keep it all together is wearing you down, I offer compassionate support and practical, evidence-based tools to help you feel more grounded and confident.

Do you find yourself keeping up the facade of keeping it all together, while privately feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained? Maybe you are overthinking conversations, putting everyone else’s needs first, or finding it difficult to switch off—even when you have time to rest. Therapy can help you understand what is driving these patterns and develop healthier ways to respond.

I offer a warm, focused approach that combines compassion with knowledgeable clinical guidance. Using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. Together, we establish clear therapeutic goals and practice tools you can use in everyday life, from managing anxious thoughts and setting boundaries to navigating stress with greater confidence.

Your experiences, culture, and identity matter in treatment. I welcome adults from diverse backgrounds, including people of color, and create space to explore family expectations, relationships, and the pressures that shape how you see yourself. You can speak openly without feeling that you need to minimize what you are going through.

You deserve support, even if you are used to being the person everyone else relies on. You do not have to wait until you feel completely overwhelmed to reach out. Schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation so we can talk about what has been weighing on you and how I can help. You can come as you are, there is no need to keep up the facade here.
