Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Welcome to Betterhelp!
My name is Layla, and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Colorado. I have been working in the mental health field for 8 years, and I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
I became a counselor because I believe that everyone deserves to be understood, heard, and supported while working towards becoming their best selves. I have worked in military and civilian settings as both a therapist and first responder for mental health crisis. I attended Regis University, where I earned a master’s degree in mental health counseling.
I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Many people question whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, research and practice indicate that remote therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can meet with a therapist in the format that fits their schedule and comfort level, whether that’s video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to maintain consistency in treatment and integrate therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals deliver care through these various channels, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they need a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers a practical and effective option to access professional mental health support.
