Great to meet you!

Hi! My name is Kayla, I am an empathetic Licensed Clinical Social Worker who can help support you through relationships challenges, stressors, difficult coparenting/family dynamics, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, and trauma with compassion, honesty, and a sense of humor. I hope to support you during difficult times while also celebrating your strengths and wins. Asking for help is the first step so congratulations on exploring a healthier future.

My approach to therapy

I have an empathetic and humorous approach that will offer you support and help you harness your strengths to navigate your challenges. I have worked with individuals struggling with substance abuse, veterans, individuals with a variety of mental health disorders, children and adults who have experienced trauma, and individuals struggling to navigate difficult family and coparenting dynamics. I have completed trainings in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Alternatives for Families Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I've completed The Coparenting Specialist Training. I also utilize Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Strengths Based concepts when working with individuals to help best support their individual needs. .

What you can expect from me

You can expect warmth, empathy, and a reliable supporter through your difficult and wonderful moments and all aspects of your life. Goals can be centered around reducing mental health symptoms, improving relationships, better understanding yourself and your emotions, and finding a better way to support your children during separation/divorce to be more child centered and reduce the impact of conflict. The relationship between a therapist and client is very impactful and I hope to help you on your journey of finding the right fit for you.
