Hi, I’m Kyla, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for supporting individuals on their journey toward healing, empowerment, and self-discovery. I bring a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to therapy, drawing from modalities such as mindfulness-based practices, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and strength-based care. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, cultural identity, and the impacts of trauma. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe and inclusive space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner strength, deepen self-awareness, and build the tools you need to thrive.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming space where we take time to get to know each other. I’ll ask questions about what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns or hopes you have for the process. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you — there’s no pressure to share everything at once. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel safe, seen, and respected as we begin to build a therapeutic relationship. I’ll also share more about my approach and answer any questions you may have, so you feel confident and empowered moving forward.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to hold a compassionate, culturally sensitive space where clients feel truly seen and understood. I bring a trauma-informed, client-centered approach that honors each person’s unique story, values, and lived experience. With a deep understanding of the emotional complexities surrounding parenthood, identity, and healing, I help clients move through life transitions with clarity, strength, and self-compassion. My integrative style blends evidence-based practices with holistic care, allowing clients to feel grounded, empowered, and supported throughout their journey.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My ideal clients are first-time mothers and individuals seeking compassionate support through the prenatal and postpartum journey. I’m especially passionate about working with BIPOC women and birthing people who may be navigating unique cultural, generational, and systemic challenges during this sacred time. Whether you're preparing for birth, healing after delivery, or adjusting to the emotional landscape of new parenthood, I provide a grounded, culturally responsive space for reflection, validation, and growth. I also welcome spiritually-minded clients who are drawn to holistic healing and want to explore the connection between mind, body, spirit, and ancestral wisdom. If you’re looking for a therapist who honors your identity, intuition, and inner strength — I’d be honored to support you.
