Kayla has a versatile clinical background providing psychotherapy to adults, children, adolescents, and families in a myriad of care settings including inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs and in-home. Kayla also has experience working as a hospice and palliative care social worker and volunteers as a facilitator for grief support groups to help those coping with loss.
Kayla is warm, empathetic, and committed.
One of Kayla’s greatest strengths is her ability to connect with clients, empowering them to set and achieve their goals. She offers an individualized, strengths-based therapeutic approach to meet the mental, physical, and emotional needs of her clients.
Kayla utilizes evidenced-based treatment modalities to address the specific needs of each client including CBT, ERP, ACT, and DBT.
Her Inspiration:
Seeing my clients move from an “I can’t” to an “I can” mindset. Watching my clients show up for themselves, face their fears despite discomfort with this, trust the therapeutic relationship and process, and ultimately, evolve into who they want to be.
