I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy- a proven approach to help you break free 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
- Developmental Trauma
- Emotional Neglect
- Perfectionism
- People Pleasing
- 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 tried therapy before and found yourself wanting something deeper. Or maybe therapy has always felt out of reach- because even being here can feel like admitting defeat. I get it, I've been there 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.
