I feel it is important to offer expert quality care that is compassionate, and tailored to each person's uniqueness as an individual. I have 38 years of clinical experience working with children, teens, families, and adults facing various life challenges. Time passes quickly. We often spend our days unhappy, and stressed. Sometimes it can be difficult to see beyond the hardships, and realize what matters most to us. If you can't change a situation, change your perspective.

I specialize in EMDR and IFS therapy to help people heal from trauma, anxiety and the parts of themselves that feel stuck, overwhelmed and depressed. My clients are often navigating the effects of complex trauma, childhood wounds, attachment injuries, anxiety, and chronic emotional stress. Using EMDR therapy as well as more holistic approaches, we go beyond talking and target beliefs stored in your body and nervous system, seeking out the root cause, not just managing symptoms. Together, we will process what is unresolved so you achieve true healing.

I imagine things may feel a bit off right now, and that's okay. It's all just information, and sorting through it together is exactly where we start.
I'm Quayla! Most of my clients are holding a lot together on the outside, but something underneath isn't quite sitting right. Maybe it's a relationship that's gotten harder to navigate, a major life change, or a pattern you keep finding yourself in no matter how hard you try to break it. You know something needs to shift. That's enough to get started.
