Hi, I’m Chaya’le
I’m an attachment-based therapist working with parents, children, and women to better understand how relationships shape emotional experience — and how those patterns can begin to shift.
A Little About Me.
Originally from Los Angeles, California, I lived in New York City for two decades before recently making the move to Florida with my husband and our beautiful, rambunctious children. Some of my favorite things in the world are the beach, music, and singing with the people I love around a table or late into the night. I also happen to love a good shoe purchase, pizza and pasta, meaningful conversation, and lots of moments of laughter that make you forget how heavy life can sometimes feel.
From a very young age, I found myself deeply curious about relationships, emotional patterns, and human behavior—something that naturally evolved into the work I do today. I can hold space for conversations around grief, heartbreak, and deep pain, while also finding joy in the lightness and ordinary moments that make us very human.
Outside the therapy room, I love to laugh, read, connect deeply with people, eat yummy food, watch a good cooking show or Survivor, spend time adventuring with my husband and children, and, whenever possible, sneak in some extra sleep.
I know this process can feel overwhelming. I remember that feeling well when I was looking for help. Having been in my own therapy for many years, I hold a deep respect for the vulnerability it takes to sit in this space. I understand the delicate and meaningful role I carry in holding space for your pain, joy, loss, and celebrations. I approach this work with humility, intention and integrity.

My approach to therapy is rooted in attachment and shaped by a deep understanding that our earliest relationships influence our entire existence and the way we experience ourselves, others, and the world.
I am a trauma-trained therapist and have training in somatic intervention, Internal family systems (IFS), the murray method, as well as other modalities that support trauma, nervous system regulation and attachment wounds. I also incorporate a nervous system–informed lens, supporting greater regulation, safety, and connection. We gently explore both the mind and body, as well as the different parts of you that hold your experiences.
At the same time, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Each person comes with a unique story, and our work together reflects that. I integrate a holistic and spiritual perspective when it feels supportive, creating space for deeper meaning, connection, and healing.
Above all, empathy and compassion—while also encouraging movement and growth. Therapy with me is not about forcing change, but about creating the safety and awareness that allows shifts to happen naturally and at your own pace.
I focus on what’s happening beneath the surface — how connection, regulation, and patterns show up — and where change can begin.
