MEET NYLA (she/her/hers)

My approach is person-centered, meaning I strive to create a safe and trusting environment where individuals can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I recognize that every person is unique, so I tailor treatment to each client's goals, strengths, and needs while incorporating evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies when appropriate. My goal is to empower clients with practical skills, greater self-awareness, and confidence so they can navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe one of the things that makes my approach to therapy unique is the genuine, authentic connection I strive to build with every client. I don't believe therapy should feel cold or overly clinical. Instead, I create a welcoming space where clients can be themselves, feel accepted, and know they are never judged. I balance compassion with honesty, offering support while also gently challenging clients when it can help them grow. I want each person to leave sessions feeling not only heard, but also equipped with practical tools they can apply in everyday life. My goal is to meet clients where they are, celebrate their strengths, and help them discover that meaningful change is possible at their own pace.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends, traveling to new places, and exploring different cultures and experiences. I believe taking time to recharge and appreciate life's simple moments is important, and I enjoy finding opportunities for adventure, whether that's discovering a new city or spending time outdoors. These experiences help me stay grounded and bring curiosity, empathy, and balance into the work I do with my clients.

SPECIAL CLINICAL FOCUS

I work best with clients who value a collaborative therapeutic relationship and are willing to engage openly in the counseling process. While I understand that opening up can be difficult, I appreciate clients who are curious about themselves, open to exploring new perspectives, and willing to practice skills outside of sessions. My goal is to meet clients where they are, so I welcome individuals at any stage of their journey who are motivated to grow and committed to working together toward meaningful change.
