I enjoy working with young adults, children, and families to help identify root causes of concerns and help them find a source of hope for change. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have nearly10 years of experience working with children, adults, and families in outpatient behavioral health settings and schools. I also have 4 years of experience as a clinical supervisor. I have worked with clients with a variety of presenting issues including: anxiety, depression, trauma history, family conflict, parenting issues, and other various emotional and behavioral challenges. I have also have experience working with Caucasian, Hispanic, and Native American populations.
I use a whole person, strengths-based, client-centered approach and value a good therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for change. I draw from several therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational interviewing, and Mindfulness to empower my clients to accomplish the goals they set for themselves.
I enjoy my career in mental health because I enjoy seeing my clients recognize their own strengths and make the changes needed to live a happier and healthier life. I believe that by meeting people were they are at in life, actively listening to their needs, helping them identify their strengths and guiding them in identifying pathways of hope and change, I can help my clients to over come challenges and benefit their overall mental wellness.
If you feel like these concepts align with what you are looking for in a mental health provider, please reach out to me or schedule an appointment in my schedule. I would love to join with you in addressing your concerns.

Kayla is great. She works on making sure she works within my boundaries, but still pushes me just a little bit to be introspective enough to be comfortable outside my boundaries. Only a few sessions in but really enjoying my time with her so far.

I've been working with Kayla for two weeks. She has been respectful and insightful towards my concerns. Kayla instinctual knew my most important cause for starting therapy and dove right in. She asks the hard questions and gets to the underlying motives quickly. After two sessions I feel I'm already taking steps towards a better version of myself. She's provided resources to review outside of our sessions and real time feedback during our sessions. She's been great!

Kayla is amazing. I look forward to talking with her every week. She's an amazing listener which I always looked for in a therapist. Sometimes that's all we need in life is just someone who listens and doesn't always have to give advise. When I do ask for advise, it's always helpful and genuine. I would recommend her to anyone looking into getting therapy.

It's taken some time, but having a neutral party to talk about these things with has been helpful. I still have so much to work on, and I knew this wasn't going to be a quick fix, but I'm happy I started and look forward to unraveling some of my deep rooted issues.
