I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 12 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in diagnosing and treating mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related conditions. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment that promotes healing, emotional growth, and overall well-being for each client I serve.

I earned my Master’s in Nursing, Leadership, and Management from Walden University. My clinical approach combines medication management, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness-based interventions to help clients build resilience and restore balance in their daily lives. I strive to empower each person through education and collaboration.

I welcome individuals ready to take the next step toward improved mental health. Whether you’re seeking clarity, stability, or emotional peace, I’m here to listen and guide you through the process. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change and create a plan that supports long-term wellness and self-confidence.

Hi, I'm Kayla, a Resident in Counseling and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor Supervisee. I earned an M.S. in Education, concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, from Old Dominion University, and a B.S. in Psychological Science, minor in Kinesiology in Health Science, from William and Mary. I work with adolescents and adults with minority cultural identities on depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, adjustment, self-esteem, relationship concerns, anger management, substance abuse, and stress, plus military clients, spouses, and families. My clients often look for a clinician who resonates with their racial identity.

I use a person-centered approach to start every relationship, giving clients space to discuss culture and how they'd like our work together to look. I also collaborate with them on goals tailored to their needs. I incorporate CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy to help clients learn, grow, and heal. Sessions are collaborative, honest, and open.

Progress is tangible, and it's essential to remember this process is about the client. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Therapy is a journey where individuals often review their lives from beginning, middle, and end. I aim to be a liaison throughout the process of healing, self-discovery, and growth. I invite clients to schedule an appointment.
