Your therapy is your journey of self-discovery to enable you to make informed decisions, to re-educate yourself, and even to re-parent yourself. It is similar to mountain climbing where a guide is exceedingly helpful. A therapist is like a Sherpa; he carries what may be too heavy to carry, sometimes he walks ahead to clear the path but often he follows your lead, after all it is your journey. When you are on your journey and you feel the need for a guide, a Sherpa to facilitate your journey, I may be of assistance.

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.

Upholding an unrealistic expectation of self and societal pressure of "keeping it all together" is exhausting! and I don't want you to continue this cycle... I hear you, I see you!
