Create a secure connection with others & yourself.

Healing happens within relationship.

EMOTIONALLY FOCUSED THERAPY for individuals & couples IN nashville

I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy- a relational approach to healing- that helps you get unstuck from old behaviors, step into your authentic self, and build security in your most meaningful relationships.

Are you tired of getting stuck in the same patterns, feeling overwhelmed, then criticizing yourself for it?

- Bell Hooks

"Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.”


Therapy with me is grounded in a few core beliefs. First, I see emotions as important messengers—they help you understand what matters to you and what you need. Rather than pushing feelings away, we’ll get curious about them together.

I also believe therapy works best when it’s more than just talking about your experience—we’ll slow down enough to actually feel and explore what’s happening in the moment.

Most importantly, healing happens in relationship. That means our connection is a big part of the growth. I show up as a real person, and I’ll invite you to do the same—because when you feel safe enough to be fully yourself, that’s when real change can happen.

"Over the past 8+ years of my life, I’ve completed many different types of therapy with several therapists but I always felt like something was missing. However, Emotionally Focused Therapy with Kayla has been life changing. I couldn’t ask for a better therapist. This is the first time I’ve felt confident that my childhood trauma has been addressed and I’ve received the necessary tools from Kayla to truly heal and move forward in my life."

"Kayla is a wonderful therapist. She is compassionate and my partner and I always both walk away feeling understood. She has helped us in our communication and understanding, and we continue to make great strides in our growth with each session."

- former client

"Kayla has helped me develop new ways of thinking, healthier habits, and greater love for myself and my capacity to grow and change. She has celebrated my wins with me and I am grateful for the door Kayla has opened to a more accepting, balanced view of myself and my world."

Maybe you’ve been to therapy before and you’re looking for a new approach to healing. Or maybe the thought of starting has always been off limits, because you thought it was a sign of failure (It’s ok, I was there once too).

Whatever your story is that brought you here, I would be honored to work with you.

I'm so glad you're here.

I'm Kayla- your relational therapist.
