Compassionate support through life's most meaningful transitions.
Laya Women’s Therapy offers individual and couples therapy virtually throughout California, with in-person sessions in Redondo Beach.
Laya (LAH-yah) is a Filipino word for freedom, the kind that is felt more than declared. It's the release of heaviness, the exhale, and the realization that you were never meant to carry all of this alone.

Life doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined.
Even the transitions we hoped for can bring emotions we didn’t expect to carry. Many of the clients I work with are used to holding it all together and showing up fully for everyone else, while quietly carrying the emotional weight of life experiences and shifts that have felt difficult, uncertain, or deeply complex.
Laya Women’s Therapy offers a supportive space for navigating perinatal mental health, infertility and loss, parenthood, identity & career shifts, and relationships. Here, therapy goes beyond symptom relief. It is a space to slow down, make sense of what you have been carrying, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels more honest, grounded, and free.
