About Anjelika Layco, Licensed Marriage Therapist

I see the profession of a marriage therapist as one that brings fulfillment and meaning into my life by helping others. Experiences in my own life sparked a desire to help people in need and have led me to become a marriage and family therapist.

My personal background has significantly influenced my decision of pursuing the profession of a marriage and family therapist. Life was not always easy for me. I had both positive and negative experiences. The healing process was not easy, and I learned a lot from attempting to heal my own emotional pain. 

As a result, I was able to develop my own coping skills to overcome negative experiences. By forgiving, I was able to move on with my life and not allow such feelings as bitterness, hatred, and anger to control my life. With time I was able to heal and live my life fully.  Even though it is not easy, I know that it is possible to stop the cycle of abuse, heal from trauma and have a happy and fulfilling life. 

I have been providing marriage counseling for over 16 years, during which time I have helped many couples improve the quality of their relationships and rebuild their lives.
