About

Hi, I’m Cayla – I help people facing anxiety, OCD, and perinatal stress find relief and reconnect with what matters. Do you feel overwhelmed by constant worry, big life transitions, or the pressure of high expectations? You might feel like you're not doing enough—or worse, like something is wrong with you. But you're not broken. You’re not alone. And you deserve support that actually helps you feel better. In therapy, we’ll uncover the roots of your anxiety or intrusive thoughts, understand their impact, and build practical tools to reduce their hold on you. I use evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), all grounded in self-compassion. Together, we’ll create flexible, personalized strategies so you can live according to your values—without anxiety holding you back. My style is warm, relatable, and nonjudgmental—with space for real talk, Taylor Swift lyrics, and the occasional Friends reference. Clients appreciate how approachable and human therapy feels with me. I bring lived experience with infertility, IVF, and perinatal anxiety, which allows me to meet you with deep empathy and real-life understanding. Sessions are a safe space where you’ll feel seen, supported, and empowered. If you’re ready to take small steps toward big change, I’m here to help you move forward. Reach out today to get the care you deserve.
