Why Kayla Became a Therapist

I became a therapist because I believe in the importance of helping people find their path towards healing and achieving their goals. My hope is that through our healing, we can make this a better place for us all.

How Kayla Lives Authentically

I live authentically by following the motto, “Progress, not perfection.” Through this motto, I am reminded daily to make an effort to practice the skills of observation over judgement, and showing grace to both myself and others.
