Hi, I’m Kayla, a social work supervisee who believes that healing is possible for everyone, and that the right support can make all the difference. My own lived experiences with trauma and life’s harder seasons didn’t just shape who I am, they drove me to dedicate my career to walking alongside others through theirs. I work with adults and teens facing a wide range of challenges, with a particular focus on life transitions, identity exploration, and neurodivergence. I am a proud ally and committed to creating a space where every person feels safe, seen, and accepted without condition. Using approaches like CBT and DBT, I meet you where you are and build from there, because your journey is yours and therapy should reflect that. If you’re ready to do the work, I’m ready to be in your corner.
Outside of therapy, I love spending time with my family, homeschooling my children, listening to music, reading, exploring local spots in Hampton Roads, and traveling when I can. I bring the same curiosity, creativity, and care to life that I bring to the therapy space.
