Kayla's experiences have shaped her to be aware of how systems and factors other than therapy affect people's mental health.

People can not only heal from trauma and mental health challenges, but they can grow from it too. I believe that healing and growth most often happen in relationship. My approach to therapy is collaborative, and strength based.  You are the expert on you and you have the innate tools and inner resilience required to overcome any life stressors, traumas, and mental health challenges that come your way. As a therapist, I am here to guide, support, and empower you to overcome challenges and grow. One of the types of therapy I use is EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help people process and resolve trauma. I also integrate cognitive behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, self compassion, and mindfulness.

I have worked in an outpatient clinic with a variety of people, with adolescents and families in crisis, and with youth experiencing homelessness. These experiences have shaped me to be aware of how systems and factors other than therapy affect peoples mental health. This background has also made me passionate about working with young adults and LGBTQ people.

I look forward to joining you on your path to healing and wellness.
