Introduction

Ayla is a compassionate, trauma-informed therapist with decades of experience, specializing in humanistic and spiritual approaches to healing, with a focus on intergenerational and systemic trauma. Grounded in a deep respect for each person’s innate capacity for growth, Ayla integrates humanistic principles with evidence-based practices to support clients in reconnecting with their authentic selves. With advanced training in grief, family systems and the dynamics of narcissism, Ayla helps individuals and families understand complex relational patterns, break cycles of harm, and cultivate healthier ways of relating. Her work is rooted in the belief that personal transformation is profoundly shaped by ones' systems—family, cultural, and historical. Ayla also offers Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) as a specialized modality for clients seeking alternative pathways to healing and integration. With a careful, ethically grounded approach, Ayla blends trauma-informed psychotherapy with psycholytic-supported exploration to help clients access deeper emotional insight, release entrenched patterns, and expand their sense of possibility. Ayla creates a warm, safe, attuned therapeutic environment where clients can explore meaning, grief, resilience, and the complexities of identity. Her practice centers on empowerment, integration, and holistic healing—supporting clients in moving from survival to wholeness.
