Hi there, I'm Layla!

I support individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, and life transitions with a gentle, compassionate approach that honors each person’s pace and story. Using evidence-based modalities like CBT, ACT, & trauma-informed therapy, I help clients build practical skills while deepening self-awareness and resilience. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or ready.

My focus

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying the weight of past trauma, or struggling to navigate a life transition, you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a gentle, supportive space where we can move at your pace, using approaches like CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care to help you feel safer, more grounded, and in control.

My approach

My approach is gentle, compassionate.
