Welcome to Divergent Therapy Solutions! I'm Kayla and am here to support your therapy journey.

Most of my experience has been in a school setting for a community mental health agency. I've also worked with students in grades K-12 at a trauma informed alt ed. program.

My work in private practice began after the pandemic started and I found myself searching for ways to help people access therapy. I serve clients of all ages and backgrounds.

I am an identified LGBTQ+ provider and am Neurodivergent.
