Kayla approaches counseling with warmth, respect, and a person-centered belief that clients are worthy of understanding, compassion, and autonomy. While clients may not be able to change what has happened to them, she helps them gently explore how past experiences, trauma, and long-held patterns have shaped their responses. Drawing from existential and narrative perspectives and informed by cognitive-behavioral principles, Kayla supports clients in understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and in developing practical, meaningful ways to respond differently—ways that support healing and hope as clients reconnect with their values and step more fully into authorship of their own stories.
