Aiyana, Licensed Professional Counseling Associate
Hey, I’m Aiyana!
I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Oregon State University – Cascades. I’ve had the privilege of working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences, including those navigating anxiety, depression, isolation, life transitions, neurodivergence, trauma, grief, and loss.
My approach to therapy is relational and collaborative. I meet clients where they are and focus on building an authentic, supportive therapeutic relationship. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while also integrating relational, person-centered, mindfulness, and somatic approaches. Together, we work to reduce suffering, strengthen your sense of agency, and help you create a life that feels more aligned, meaningful, and manageable.
I aim to create a space that feels warm, grounded, and judgment-free—where you don’t have to show up as anything other than yourself. I value curiosity, honesty, and real connection in the therapy room, and I believe meaningful change often happens when you feel genuinely seen, supported, and understood.
Outside of the therapy space, you can usually find me tending to my ever-growing collection of houseplants, starting a new craft project (and sometimes finishing it), or out exploring a new trail.
Aiyana is currently accepting new clients and offers both in-person therapy in Bend and telehealth throughout Oregon.
