About Lylla & NuEra Therapy

Breaking Down the Wall

Have you ever felt like you are speaking a completely different language from your partner? You might be having the same arguments over and over with no resolution, or perhaps you are carrying the silent weight of anxiety, self-doubt, or chronic illness.

For many of the people I work with, these struggles create a silent, painful wall that leaves them feeling lonely and disconnected.

These feelings are often rooted in emotional patterns and old coping strategies that once helped you survive but now stand in your way. My goal is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can understand the purpose of these patterns and gently reshape them so they no longer hold you back.

More Than Just a Title

I believe the most important factor in therapy isn’t the acronyms after my name—it’s the connection we build.

My goal is for you to feel that immediate sense of relief—the “exhale”—that comes when you realize you don’t have to explain why something is hard, because the person across from you truly gets it. I strive to be a real human in the room with you, not a blank slate.

I know that life can be messy, contradictory, and incredibly heavy. I established NuEra Therapy to create a place where you can bring your full, unfiltered self, knowing you will be met with genuine understanding rather than clinical judgment.

A Tailored, Inclusive Approach

Because I see you as a unique individual rather than a set of symptoms, I believe therapy shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all solution. My approach is integrated and tailored to your life:

  • For Couples & Polycules: I utilize principles from the Gottman Method and Sex Therapy. We will focus on what makes relationships last: building a stronger foundation of friendship, managing conflict constructively, and rediscovering the intimacy that brought you together.
  • For Individuals: Whether you are navigating trauma, chronic pain, or anxiety, I draw from evidence-based models to help you move from hopelessness to empowerment. My goal is to equip you with tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and clarity.

Areas of Expertise

At NuEra Therapy, I am particularly passionate about supporting women experiencing low or no sex drive due to chronic illness, as well as relationships of all kinds that are facing intimacy challenges. As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I leverage a variety of evidence-based modalities to help my clients thrive, including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Identifies and modifies negative thought patterns and behaviors

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Focuses on emotional regulation and the development of coping skills

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Explores the various “parts” of your personality to foster self-understanding

Compassion Therapy

Assists in recognizing and transforming negative thought patterns and behaviors through self-compassion.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Emphasizes solutions and builds on your strengths to create positive change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Encourages acceptance of difficult emotions while committing to values-driven actions

I am a firm believer that every individual possesses inherent strengths. My strength-based approach to psychotherapy services empowers you to leverage those strengths as you work toward lasting change.
