Embracing the full human experience from life to death, I integrate mind, body, soul, and social context through identity-affirming, trauma-informed care. As a Mental Health Provider and Alternative Healing Practitioner, I empower clients to live authentically. With over 20 years of diverse, combined experience, I focus on inclusive, collaborative-care.
I am a queer, disabled, neurodivergent LPCC, Death Doula, and integrative healing practitioner. My passion lies in embracing the entirety of the human experience, from life to death, by integrating body, mind, soul, and social context. I bring realism, non-judgment, compassion, and acceptance to my work, exploring the messy, imperfect, gritty, and feral aspects of being human.
My specialties include trauma-informed, identity-affirming care, grief & loss, chronic illness/pain with disability justice lens and somatic integration. I offer a variety of therapy services and consultation offerings through my private practice, Rooted Ash Counseling, as well as insurance pay through Divergence Mental Health Group where I also serve in my role as a Clinical Development & Integration Lead. I am dedicated to cultivating affirming and sustainable spaces for both clinicians and clients, empowering them to discover their innate inner wisdom and live authentically.

This allows for a deeply personalized and holistic healing journey.

"Aiyla provided invaluable support during a very difficult period of chronic pain. Their somatic approach helped me reconnect with my body and find new ways to cope. Their compassion and understanding made all the difference."
"As an autistic person, finding a therapist who truly understands is rare. Aiyla’s neuro-affirming approach created a space where I felt seen, heard, and deeply understood for the first time and it changed my life."
"Aiyla's direct guidance as a Death Doula was a profound comfort during my family's time of loss. Their presence allowed us to navigate grief realistically, where we didn't have to 'think' and grieve at the same time. It was exactly what we needed."
