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.

Brighter Day Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D
At Brighter Day Psychological Services, understanding your mind is the first step toward healing and growth. As a licensed Clinical and School Psychologist, I specialize in neuropsychological and psychological evaluations that help people gain clarity about how they think, learn, and cope with life’s challenges. Many of my clients come to me feeling confused or overwhelmed, wondering why they struggle with focus, memory, learning, or mood. Through compassionate, thorough assessment, I help uncover the “why” behind these challenges and create a clear plan for moving forward. My evaluations explore areas such as ADHD, learning difficulties, anxiety, depression, trauma, memory changes, and executive functioning, always tailored to each individual’s unique story. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful. Every report I provide translates complex information into practical insights that can make everyday life easier—whether that’s at school, work, or home. My goal is for every person I work with to leave feeling seen, understood, and equipped with tools for a brighter day ahead.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
I can make this very easy for you - unless you’re looking for a specific technique the only way to tell if your therapist is a good fit is by being in a relationship with them. This can be virtual or in person, but we’ve known for a long time that the primary determining factor in successful therapy is the alliance. While a resume and creds may be a starting point, I think you’ll find it’s rarely a deciding factor.
-
For therapy to "work" you have to be vulnerable. To be vulnerable you need to feel safe. To feel safe you need to trust. This is the first layer of a deep, intimate, successful relationship that I model. Some people have never experienced this before - the idea that you can be heard, truly and deeply and not be judged, blamed or put in a box.
Walk with me - you're not alone in this.
