With a unique blend of compassion and practicality, I create a safe and nurturing space for you to explore your inner world, set achievable goals, and harness your true potential.

My name is Cayla, I identify as a Black cisgender woman of African American and Jamaican heritage. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Dance/Movement Therapist in Denver, CO. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy dance, yoga, live music, spending time in nature, and being with friends and family. My connection to dance began at a young age. The dance studio was a space where I could express myself freely—without needing to find the perfect words for what I was feeling. Over time, dance and movement practices like yoga became steady sources of support through major life transitions, uncertainty, moments of joy, and grief. When choosing my career path, I felt a deep calling to support others in turning towards the wisdom inside of themselves. Our bodies hold profound wisdom—they can be a source of comfort and safety, and often carry the impact of past trauma, stress, and lived experiences that then impact our relationships and mental health and well being. My approach is holistic, honoring all the unique parts of who you are so that healing feels integrated and lasting. The work we do is less about teaching you something new and more about helping you reconnect with and integrate practices into daily life that support you in coming home to yourself.

Stepping into counseling is a second career for me. Before this work, I spent many years as an accountant, but I found myself wanting deeper, more meaningful connection with people.
