Hello, I'm Daiva (pronounced dive-ah), a Certified Music Therapist (MTA) and Reiki practitioner. I work with adults seeking to find their voice, overcome anxiety, and build confidence. My approach is anti-oppressive and I value decolonized ways of healing. Previous clients have experienced enhanced interpersonal relationships, a shift from living in worry about the future to living in trust, and feeling secure in their identity. If you're looking for something beyond talk therapy, perhaps a creative medium is what will serve you.

Sometimes you need to sit before you can rise! Life can be challenging and making sense of those challenges is difficult especially if you have been stuck for a long time. Oftentimes, we don't pause long enough to truly understand why we are struggling. I want to give you the chance to sit, talk, learn, and then apply what you have discovered to your life. The key to my practice is providing a space where clients feel safe to share, learn and develop strategies to move them forward.
