“I help people who experience chronic anxiety and past trauma to heal, effectively manage their symptoms, and live fulfilling and meaningful lives.”

Hello, I am Nila …

And I get it.

I have my own personal experience with several years in therapy, working through my own healing journey. I love being in nature, being with my cat and other animals, spending time with friends and family, going to coffee shops and local stores, and traveling. I also love to practice yoga and meditation, as they are helpful grounding practices for me. I teach hot vinyasa style yoga classes on the weekends, and I enjoy doing tarot readings for myself and others. 

What is it like working with me …

You can expect to be met with active listening, empathy, compassion, and unconditional positive regard. I work to help my clients understand the different parts of themselves, and value using a compassionate and trauma-informed approach. I will validate and help you show compassion to your parts, integrate them, and help you feel more whole. I will also assist you in becoming in tune with your needs, to help you improve your relationships with yourself and others.

I know and believe things will change …

You may notice changes in your mood, relationships, and/or day-to-day activities. I also find value in checking in with you periodically to assess any changes you are noticing, as well as if you feel your needs in therapy are being met.

But is there hope for me?

My intention is to assist you in developing the skills to validate and reassure yourself. If you ask, "Is there hope for me?", I would want to begin by asking where this question comes from and validate your feelings and difficult past experiences. I will provide you with an explanation of the counseling process and how there can be ups and downs, however, with time and effort, you will begin to feel better. I will be your advocate and do my best to create an environment where you feel safe to communicate when things are working or not working.
