Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I utilize integrative approaches to help you explore the root causes of your concerns, while helping you develop effective and useful strategies to maintain your mental health. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to navigate and understand your experiences, uncover patterns, and create solutions that fit your unique needs.
Whether you are facing stress at work, struggling with self-esteem, or navigating a major life transition, I’m here to support you in identifying your strengths and building a path forward during our sessions. Together, we’ll develop practical skills and insights to help you achieve your goals, improve your mental health, and live a more fulfilling life.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be vulnerable and work towards meaningful change.
I'm eager to serve clients looking to improve their overall daily functioning and well-being, but have been struggling to find the right tools to do so. I am here to help clients who are looking to make progress but often feel stuck and stagnate, move forward.

Strength-Based
My experience with a Strength-Based approach has shown to be an essential part of building trust, promoting resilience, and fostering long-term recovery. This approach allows me to see clients as more than their diagnoses or challenges—it shifts the focus to their abilities, personal values, lived experiences, and inner resources.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Using CBT helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to mental health symptoms. I work collaboratively to develop coping skills, increase insight, and build healthier thinking habits. I’ve used CBT effectively with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders, always tailoring interventions to meet the individual where they are and support long-term change.

My first therapy session I’ve ever done and it was very pleasant and glad to have done it now. Kayla made it very easy and clear as to what we could accomplish.

I truly appreciate her being able to ease my mind a bit yesterday during our therapy session. I have been going thru court stress. I have court coming up and she really gave me amazing tips and great questions I can ask my attorney that can help me get answers to specific situations that are the main reason why my stress is happening. She has been an amazing provider so far and I would like to thank her a lot!
