Background and approach
Conversations are practical and grounded in what a person wants to achieve next. Her work often centers on improving relationship communication, navigating life changes, and strengthening self-worth. She uses established approaches to help people process difficult experiences and build coping skills.
Sessions tend to focus on small, achievable steps that add up over time. Daja also addresses concerns like workplace stress, body image, loneliness, and issues connected to aging. She is attentive to multicultural concerns and to the impact of prejudice and discrimination on mental health.
When relevant, she supports people dealing with past sexual assault or abuse. Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Daja works collaboratively to tailor goals and approaches to each person’s needs and preferences.
How her approaches work online
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process distressing memories by linking focused attention with guided processing. It is often used for memories that continue to cause anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or strong emotional reactions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices for noticing thoughts and sensations without getting swept up by them. It can help reduce stress, quiet worry, and improve emotional balance during life changes.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying practical next steps and building on what already works. Sessions look forward to small, concrete changes rather than only revisiting problems.
Daja treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss these methods with each person and choose techniques that match their goals and comfort level. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls make it possible to have a fuller conversation and pick up on visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or people who express themselves better in writing. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.
