Beginning therapy can often be intimidating. It requires, among many things, vulnerability and trust in the therapeutic relationship and process.

If you are considering entering therapy, I applaud you for taking this courageous first step. My clients have repeatedly told me how comfortable they felt after the first session. I will provide for you a safe and non-judgmental space as we work as a team to accomplish your goals and embrace the process of change.

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). CBT includes providing homework; therapy isn't for the therapist to "fix" things but to provide you with the tools you can apply in your everyday life to help you succeed. Homework also helps to keep you on track between sessions. CBT has been proven effective for a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship , communication, trauma, and other mental health concerns.
