About Shayla

As a Licensed Social Worker and Certified Trauma Professional, I bring good energy, empathy, and clinical expertise to my work with survivors of trauma.  My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, culturally informed, and person-centered.  I offer a safe, affirming, and comfortable space for you to be your authentic self, free from judgment.  I meet you wherever you are on your healing journey and we work together on reaching your desired treatment goals at your own pace. 

I specialize in working with children, teens, adults, and older adults who have experienced trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking —as well as their families and significant others.  

I provide trauma-focused psychotherapy using a range of evidence-based modalities, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I also integrate additional approaches such as Seeking Safety and Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (SMART) to support nervous system regulation and long-term healing.

I am dedicated to empowering survivors of trauma and their support systems with tools for resilience, reconnection, and growth.  Let’s connect to see if counseling is a good fit for you!
