Shayla has been a true blessing on my life. She helps me to identify issues within myself because I cannot control the actions of others. She is helping me learn how to set boundaries (which is very hard for me because I am a huge people pleaser). I want everyone to be happy all the time and it is very hard. Shayla prays with me and is always sure that my focus is Jesus centered (which I LOVE). She has given me many resources to help in this process of healing and moving forward. I look forward to each session with her and am incredibly thankful for her!

Hello friends,
My joy is serving people, and I feel privileged to walk alongside you as you boldly face life’s difficulties and challenges and find brighter days awaiting you ahead.
At times, life can become overwhelming, lonely and even painful. It is a gift to be able to hear you bravely speak your truth and watch you begin taking steps forward.
Using a variety of modalities including Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused and Adlerian approaches to therapy, I can help you strengthen your inner voice, gain confidence and find abundant life once again. Listening, asking questions, and equipping you with useful information are just a few ways I can support you as you explore possibilities for change.
Working in a variety of counseling and educational roles for over 10 years, I have gained experience in treating many conditions and working with individuals and families. Some concerns I can help you with include struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma related concerns, body issues, anger management, pre or postpartum depression, family or marital concerns.
I want to hear your story and hope I have the opportunity to make a small but significant difference in your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
