Introduction

Shayla is a warm, direct counselor who can assist you in finding your own path. Shayla focuses on self-care for caregivers, spiritual and existential anxiety, transitions in life stages, trauma, and issues with attachment. She maintains a Christian perspective but is trained in secular counseling techniques, integrating her worldview only when clients specifically request it. Counseling can assist in harnessing past experiences to comprehend your instinctive thoughts, emotions, and actions. The objectives of counseling are tailored to your needs and may involve recovering from trauma, establishing healthy boundaries, and fostering more profound relationships. It is vital to find a counselor with whom you connect to ensure a successful therapeutic experience. If you're seeking emotional healing or direction for the future and feel unsure about how to proceed, remember that there is hope. Consider scheduling an appointment or setting up a free consultation today. Shayla adopts a varied approach, combining different theoretical frameworks and expertise in various counseling techniques to customize her services for each individual's needs. She has been active in the psychology field since 2015 and has provided counseling for adults, adolescents, and children aged eight and above since 2018.
