Hi, my name is Amiyah. I am working towards my graduate degree in counseling here at Cal Poly Humboldt. Originally from Eureka, I completed my bachelor's degree in psychology at Southern Oregon University before returning to Humboldt County. Most of my professional experience has involved supporting children, teens, and their families by providing intervention at home and in school. In my work now, I incorporate a person-centered approach and aim to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space that allows for open expression and collaboration.

Going forward in my education, I hope to continue learning about mindfulness-based techniques like acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and other behavior therapies. Outside of school and work, I enjoy listening to music, being outdoors, and spending time with family and friends.
