Kaela is a current student at Colorado Christian University earning a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, under the supervision of Megan Hutchens, LPC (013363). She is currently seeing clients at The Highlands. She desires to come alongside preteens, adolescents, and college students, as they navigate life in a fast paced and often loud world.
Kaela provides a warm and supportive space where clients can heal, grow, and feel more connected—to themselves and to one another. Her approach is deeply influenced by Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, finding opportunities for healing and growth when met with curiosity and compassion.
Whether it’s anxiety, depression, change, adjustment, trauma, school stress, feeling "stuck", or just the ordinary chaos of life— I would be delighted to be part of your team. Seeking help takes courage, and I would be honored to come alongside you and those you love.
