I strive to be compassionate and culturally sensitive while helping you work toward your goals. Whether it’s depression, anxiety,
relationship
troubles, or self-esteem challenges, I invite you into a non-judgmental space to work through your struggles.

I am a positive individual that believes in creating a healthy therapeutic
relationship
with my clients.
I am a firm believer that our experiences shape our worldview and how we see ourselves. Negative experiences have a particular way of impacting us and becoming part of our life story that forms into core beliefs. Core beliefs guide our self-esteem, relationships, internal dialogs, and the way we problem solve. I believe that you can change those negative core beliefs through psychoeducation, coping skills, insight, and awareness. In our work, I will help you identify your strengths, tap into a growth mindset, learn new skills, and improve your personal insight. Schedule an appointment at our website WWW.HopScotchClinical.com

Whether I am working with a small child or an adult, I believe that the healing process is a journey of returning home to the authentic self with the therapeutic
relationship
as a vehicle supporting the exploration. My name is Kayla and I hope to walk along with you on this path, offering compassion, co-regulation, and some neuroscience education along the way. When we can lean into the understanding of our own neurobiology and how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors have come to be, we may also begin to explore where we may have gotten stuck and how we can have a renewed access to the wisdom and assets that our bodies possess.

I asked a young woman about her experience with me as a therapist, which is important to process, and she thoughtfully described our vibe. She felt seen, heard and cared for; that’s what supported her as she worked toward her goals. This is why the therapeutic
relationship
is the foundation for healing. Feeling safe and supported gives us the courage to approach the painful wounds we otherwise dare not touch. Whatever you’re working through, or want to heal, please know you are not alone.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
