Find Calm and Clarity Through Life’s Transitions

At Soul Awakening, LLC, we help adults navigating major life changes—career shifts, divorce, relocation, or seasons of uncertainty—reduce anxiety and stress so they can move forward with confidence and peace.

When life changes, it can feel overwhelming

Change can be unsettling, even when it’s for the better. Maybe you’ve gone through a breakup, started a new job, or experienced a loss. Or maybe you want to make a change and you don’t know where to start. The pressure to hold it all together can leave you anxious, exhausted, and uncertain about the future.

Therapy can help you….

  • Ease anxiety and stress that come with change

  • Clarify your direction for the next chapter

  • Build healthy boundaries that protect your peace

  • Reconnect with your confidence and authentic self

Compassionate & Evidence-Based Support

At Soul Awakening, LLC, we use approaches such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and CBT, along with mindfulness and multicultural awareness. Together, we’ll create a safe space tailored to your needs—helping you feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS is a non-pathologizing, evidence-based psychotherapy modality, which views life difficulties as protective and wounded inner parts reacting and aims to transform, empower, and heal through accessing and understanding them. Akemi is an IFS Level 1 therapist.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is an evidence-based psychotherapy modality, which provides clients opportunity to become self-aware and alter unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy

EMDR is an evidence-based psychotherapy therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral eye movements and it is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma. Extensive and ongoing research on EMDR therapy supports positive clinical outcomes on trauma and PTSD symptoms anxiety, depression, OCD, and addictions. Akemi is a trained member of EMDRIA.
