Hi, I'm Kayla, and I am a final year MSW candidate at the University of West Florida.

First off, I want to say I'm glad you're here. Starting therapy can be intimidating. My goal is to provide a welcoming and safe environment where we can work together on whatever it is that brought you here.

In sessions, I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies, mindfulness techniques, and some somatic experiencing. I understand that everyone is different and will benefit from a variety of approaches. For this reason, my sessions are trauma-informed and highly specified to your own needs.

I also encourage you to share with me things in or outside of therapy that have helped or worked for you in the past or present, as well as things that maybe were not as helpful. My goals are to provide you with a safe space to process whatever it is that brought you here and to give you the tools to build resiliency for a better quality of life.

Welcome!
