Welcome. I’m Kayla, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I believe you deserve a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. Therapy can be vulnerable, especially when you have spent years feeling overwhelmed by thoughts, emotions, past experiences, or expectations. I strive to offer a warm, compassionate, judgment-free space where you never have to pretend to be “okay.” Together, we can gently explore what you are experiencing and work toward feeling more grounded, connected, and like yourself again. My approach is collaborative and compassionate. We can move at a pace that feels safe, supportive, and meaningful to you.
I am passionate about helping clients with OCD break free from fear, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, and compulsions. Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), my goal is to help you develop a healthier relationship with your thoughts and fears so you can live with greater confidence and freedom.
I work with individuals who have experienced trauma and difficult life experiences. Using Brainspotting (BSP) and EMDR, I collaborate with clients to gently process experiences that may still feel stuck or unresolved. Healing is not about becoming someone different; it is about reconnecting with yourself. You do not have to navigate this process alone.
