I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy— a proven approach to help you heal from old patterns and experience the security you've been looking for.
You work hard and strive for success, but when it comes to emotions or relationships, it can feel like you're missing something.
Maybe you're feeling disconnected—from your partner, or even from yourself.
Are you getting stuck in the same patterns—then criticizing yourself when things don’t change?
- Bell Hooks
"Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.”
I commonly help clients with:
- Conflict and Communication
- Avoidant Attachment Issues
- Anxiety
- People- Pleasing
- Impacts of Trauma
- Perfectionism
- Inner Child Work
- Grief & Loss
- Negative Self Talk
- Perinatal Support
- Premarital Counseling
- Life Transitions
"We cannot selectively numb emotions. When we numb the painful emotions we also numb the positive ones."
- Brene Brown
Maybe you’ve been to therapy before and you’re looking for a deeper approach. Or maybe the thought of starting has always been off limits, because even being here feels like a sign of failure (don't worry- 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.
Hey there, I'm Kayla.

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."
