Welcome! I'm Kayla and I look forward to meeting you. Life can often be hard and uncertain and it's okay to ask for help, in fact, I encourage it! While pain is not executed in isolation, neither is healing. I believe how we experience this life depends on our sense of belonging, made up of our connections, and especially our connection to our self. I want you to experience belonging right where you are at- in your body, mind, family and community. Through therapy, I will walk beside you to process the difficult things you have been through and build your connections to both yourself and supports. I'd be honored to join your community.

Specializing in treating relational traumas, complex trauma and PTSD, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ issues, grief and loss, life transitions, school issues, general stressors and women’s issues, I use a trauma informed approach in all that I do. I believe you are the expert of your experience and will use my knowledge and skills to support your desires and decisions. Because of this, I am eclectic and tailor treatment directly to your needs.
