Who am I? Well, I am a mental health advocate, lover of self-care and self-love, curator of positive vibes, a daughter, sister, and friend; but above all I am Layla a black female therapist who believes that we can all be the best version of ourselves when given the tools to take back our power and take control of our mental health.

Over the past 9 years I have worked as a Clinical Social Worker and School Social Worker with students and their families within the Durham community on making mental health a priority! Helping to break down barriers and create an environment that fosters healing and growth. I have a passion for advocating mental health needs and championing the importance of self-care.

I really want to continue this work of breaking down stigmas and creating a space for conversation around mental health in the Black and Brown communities. Let’s take charge of your mental wellbeing, together!
