I help high-performing individuals and couples create real, lasting change in their relationships.
At Rising Phoenix Counseling Services, I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating stress, disconnection, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are successful on the outside, yet internally feel overwhelmed, stuck, or aware that something isn’t working the way it used to.
Together, we move beyond surface-level insight into real, practical change—so you can feel more like yourself again and more connected in the relationships that matter most.
If you’re ready for something different, you’re in the right place.
Work with a Gottman Level 3 Therapist to rebuild connection, clarity, and trust—without months of going in circles.
NOT ALL RELATIONSHIPS ARE MEANT TO STAY THE SAME. SOME ARE MEANT TO RISE.
Real people. Real relationships. Real Change.
“We were on the verge of losing everything.”
My husband and I married young and quickly felt disconnected. I felt alone, and he didn’t understand why. Laila helped us slow down, truly listen, and communicate in a way we never had before. Even through deployment, we became a team again. Our relationship is stronger and more connected than ever.

“I didn’t think therapy would actually help.”
I was frustrated, exhausted, and ready to leave my marriage. I agreed to counseling without much hope. Through our work, I learned how to really hear my wife, and everything shifted. We no longer have the same arguments and can actually find solutions that work for both of us.

“After the affair, I didn’t know how to move forward.”
I wanted to save my marriage, but I felt angry, hurt, and completely stuck. Laila helped us understand what was happening beneath the surface and what each of us needed to do to heal. That clarity changed everything.

“This was one of the most powerful experiences I’ve had.”
I came in feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what I needed. Laila helped me gain clarity, direction, and a sense of control in my life again. I left feeling more focused, intentional, and confident in myself.

“I was skeptical about virtual therapy…”
I wasn’t sure online sessions would be effective, but this ended up being one of the best decisions I’ve made. The work felt real, impactful, and deeply helpful.
