I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for support is a meaningful first step, and I’m honored to be part of that journey with you. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported from the very beginning. I work with adults and teens who are navigating anxiety, grief, life changes, and relationship challenges... or just feeling stuck. My approach is down-to-earth and collaborative — we’ll work together at your pace, using practical tools and genuine connection to help you move toward the life you want. If this sounds like the kind of support you’re looking for, I’d love to connect and see how we can work together.

Hi I’m Kayla and as a licensed therapist, I help adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, OCD, and the lasting effects of past trauma. I take a relational and collaborative approach to therapy. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to explore what’s really going on underneath the surface. We’ll look at patterns in your emotions and relationships, and how past experiences may still be shaping the present. I also use practical tools and coping strategies when helpful, but we won’t just focus on managing symptoms. We’ll work toward understanding them and helping you feel more secure and grounded overall.

As a former CPA/business owner I bring my unique life’s experiences of serving clients, coaching teams of business professionals and personal growth to the field of counseling. As a business leader, husband and father of, now, young adults, I spent many hours with my own coaches and therapists who helped me understand my struggles and explore my strengths and weaknesses to make myself and those around me better. I use a client/couple/family-centered strength-based approach to psychotherapy that focuses on You Shaping You. The Couple Shaping the Couple. The Family shaping the Family.

Life can be both beautiful and challenging. At times, we all require support to navigate our journey towards healing.

I am a licensed psychologist in Florida with over twenty-five years of experience with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of mood disorders, parenting problems, behavior, and relationship issues. I have conducted evaluations for Social Security Disability and the Department of Children and Families as well as custody Parental Evaluations for families and the court system. I am trained in Collaborative Law divorce mediation to help families focus on the best interest of their children through those difficult circumstances. Working with patients that are having difficulties making life adjustments as life becomes more complex is what I enjoy the most because we all can become more adaptable and develop new skills and techniques to help us cope more effectively. I have worked with patients suffering with and recovering from significant medical issues including COPD, CVA, TBI, cancer, diabetes, COVID, and physical injury, assisting them in regaining strength and independence and being able to return home following inpatient rehabilitation intervention. Many people I work with are first responders, have PTSD, or are suffering from Acute Stress Disorder following a trauma. My therapy style varies according to the issues presented, and my role as a psychologist is not to judge but to treat people as individuals and provide needed support. I use cognitive-behavioral and reality therapy and am very much in-line with the humanistic approach in all client care. I prefer to be solution-focused and to provide clients with valuable tools that they can use in the future as needed. Decision making strategies and techniques are emphasized. I provide supportive therapy and try to aid in empowering patients in taking confident, measured steps toward where they want to be next in their life path.

The good news is that we all have the ability of changing the patterns we want to change in our lives. It is your own personal story, and you decide on the ending.
