I believe in here and now therapy. Focusing on the things that are concerning my clients now. Concentrating on how we can heal from what is keeping my clients stuck. Working to turn negatives into positives by putting in the work & effort required to manifest positive changes. With the use of person centered, narrative therapy we can begin to identify and externalize what has brought the client to my office & how to best serve their needs. This is a client lead pursuit for freedom & healing that I curiously embark on as a navigator of sorts. A guide with experience enough to know that the client has the answers and is in control.

Each of us goes through periods where we feel stuck or overwhelmed, and the path through has become difficult to find. My hope is to provide a space and relationship where you can better understand yourself and find the freedom to move forward again. From the first meeting, I approach therapy as a collaborative process where it is most important that you feel understood, supported, and accepted. I value being able to support people of diverse identities and backgrounds. Your many cultural contexts are important to me in understanding the shape of your life and struggles.

My hope is to create a connected relationship, provide a comfortable and safe space, and to work with you collaboratively to move toward your hopes and goals. Your holistic self (e.g. culture, sexuality, gender, family of origin, etc.) and experiences are very important to understand, honor, and address through our work together.

I support clients from all backgrounds and identities and have experience supporting clients from marginalized and under-resourced (e.g., navigating financial, housing, and systemic insecurity/barriers) communities. I have served clients in community mental health centers and love supporting clients at the intersection of mental health and physical health.
Is chronic pain or a recent cancer diagnosis making it challenging to find meaning and purpose? Do you need support disentangling your life from stress and trauma? Are you feeling stuck on worries, fears, or chained by certain behaviors? I would feel honored to support you!

Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable adults who appear to be managing everything on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. If you’re used to handling things on your own, reaching out for support can feel unfamiliar — even uncomfortable. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin making meaningful changes. Together we work toward both insight and practical tools to help you feel more grounded and less overwhelmed.

Healing is a journey. But do you feel like you've been stuck on the same path for years? Women are the backbone of society. We carry the emotional load and keep it all together - and still constantly worry that we aren't good enough or we're messing it all up. We can spend ages talking in loops with a therapist about the problem of the week and never confront the issues that are contributing to suffering.

Ayla specializes in treating trauma, loss, and grief. New grief can reactivate previous losses. Grief can awaken when a loved one passes, when a relationship ends, a beloved pet passes, with health challenges, and many other life events. Grief can arise with aging, empty nesting, or even grieving the loss of the happy childhood you never experienced. Many are unaware that they are grieving the loss of their pre-pandemic lives. Ayla works with you to unpack what you have been carrying, to explore the legacies of your experiences, to support you to release what no longer fits, and to create new narratives in your life going forward.

Therapy is a transformational space. Whether there are clear obstacles to your mental health or you are curious to know yourself more fully, my hope is for you to view yourself with self-compassion and see your life context with more self-awareness. I greatly value the therapeutic relationship as a safe place to explore yourself and better understand your relational style. Exploring how family and culture influence your sense of self and the world are also important tools of self-discovery. In my approach, I collaboratively establish goals and expectations for our work together and am transparent about my methods and decisions.
