Hello, I am Äˈjilā, pronounced (Ah-Ji-Lay). I have been practicing therapy for 20 years. My main clinical focus is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

In our work together, I create a space for you to process, be heard without judgment, and increase your progress toward your goals as you define them.

Determining your sensitivities and discovering how to navigate life’s terms while embracing who you are is a sincere challenge.
