I don't believe therapy has to feel intense, sad, or scary. I try to bring fun and humor into my sessions to make them lively and comfortable. I work hard to create a judgment-free space. I hope you'll feel comfortable sharing with me, and that you'll feel seen, heard, and not judged. You're stepping into a journey that is going to be hard, but it's helped many people get their lives back. I also have experience treating depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and mood disorders.

In April, I began experiencing onset OCD, where I knew I had to seek therapy. Fortunately, with my therapist’s assistance, I am able to implement the tools I need to overcome the triggers. I do find that my therapist’s communication is lacking at times, which that is the only complaint I have. Overall though, if you have OCD, I would say this is a great form of finding a way to improve it.
K.L.
Kayla is Great and is representing your company in a positive way.
