*KAYLA IS ALL VIRTUAL/TELEHEALTH* 

Hi, I’m Kayla. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, and a Professional Counselor Telehealth Provider in South Carolina. I have six years of experience providing counseling services to young adults and adults in individual, couples, and group therapy settings.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Deaf Studies and American Sign Language, as well as my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I completed my clinical internship at the Wake Forest University Counseling Center, where I gained experience working with individuals navigating identity exploration, emotional regulation, relationships, and life transitions.

I often work with clients who feel stuck in patterns or roles that no longer fit, who are navigating meaningful life changes, or who have spent much of their lives being the strong or dependable one for others. Many of my clients are seeking greater clarity, balance, and a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.

As a Black queer clinician, my lived experience informs the way I show up in the therapy space. My approach is grounded in deep listening, collaboration, and curiosity, with an emphasis on helping clients understand how their identities, relationships, and past experiences influence their present-day lives. I draw from Interpersonal and Developmental Psychotherapy to support insight, emotional growth, and meaningful, sustainable change.

I strive to create a supportive and encouraging therapeutic environment where clients feel comfortable showing up as their full selves. I view therapy as a collaborative process focused on increasing self-awareness, strengthening self-compassion, and developing more empowering internal beliefs.

Outside of the therapy room, I am a Charlotte native who enjoys music, live concerts, reading, sunsets, and spending time with wife and dogs. I value connection, creativity, and thoughtful conversation, and I bring that same warmth and authenticity into my work with clients.

I offer a free virtual meet and greet for individuals interested in exploring whether therapy may be a good fit.
