Jeffrey Newburg
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MS
The judgments come from all sides – your family, peers, and the church. For such a long time, you’ve heard their toxic words, “You’re not good enough.” “You’re broken.” “You’re worthless.” And the worst part is, you've started to believe it yourself. The external chorus of criticism has become indistinguishable from the voice in your mind. You've carried the weight of these unfair judgments admirably – constantly pushing forward and doing what you need to survive. But you can feel yourself slowly crumbling under the pressure. You can’t go on like this. But your shame has become so familiar that you’re unsure how to live without it.
Don’t give up – life can be so much better. Using the powerful modalities of EMDR and Brainspotting, I can help you heal your trauma and dismantle self-critical shame. Together we’ll work to restore your calm and self-compassion. And, through our work together, we’ll help you experience ease in your body and tap into a newfound sense of joy and creativity.
Stop letting the judgments of other people determine your self-worth. Start treating yourself with the care, compassion, and forgiveness you deserve. Develop the confidence to create the relationships, career, and life you’ve always dreamed of. You don’t have to do this alone. Call me today for your free 20-minute consultation, and let's get started!

Layla Ashley Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Relationships can bring our deepest joy, but they can also surface painful patterns. If you and your partner find yourselves caught in the same arguments, struggling to truly hear one another, or feeling emotionally distant, you’re not alone. Many couples reach a point where communication breaks down and the connection they once felt begins to feel strained or uncertain. Sometimes earlier life experiences, family patterns, or stressors quietly shape the way we relate, making it harder to stay close even when the love is still there.
With more than two decades of experience working with couples, I help partners slow down the cycle of conflict and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in relational and attachment-based work. I support couples in developing healthier communication, repairing emotional wounds, and building a stronger foundation of trust and intimacy. I’m also particularly attuned to the needs of highly sensitive people and those who want a thoughtful, depth-oriented approach to relationship growth.
Whether you’re preparing for a deeper commitment, working to repair trust after a rupture, or trying to rediscover connection after years together, therapy can offer a meaningful path forward. I also support individuals navigating dating, heartbreak, or relationship transitions. Together we’ll work toward clearer communication, emotional safety, and a relationship that feels more conscious, supportive, and alive.
If you’d like to explore whether this work might be a good fit, feel free to reach out to schedule a complimentary consultation.
