Hi, I'm Kayla.

I decided I wanted to be a therapist in the sixth grade. There was a brief detour, but some things just keep pulling you back. More than ten years later, that pull has never let up.

My career has taken me through emergency room psychiatric triage, inpatient psychiatry, county outpatient services, crisis outreach, leadership, and private practice. Through all of it, I kept coming back to one belief: people make sense. Even the parts that frustrate you. Even the patterns you've tried to change. There is almost always a reason.

That belief shapes everything about how I approach therapy.

I ask a lot of questions because I genuinely want to understand what it has been like to be you. Together, we'll create a space where you can be honest, feel supported, and challenge yourself in meaningful ways. I believe you're the expert of your own life. My role is to help you hear yourself more clearly while walking alongside you through the process.

One thing people often notice about me is that I notice them. I pay attention to the subtle things that are easy to overlook—the hesitation before an answer, a shift in energy, or what your body communicates before your words do. Even through a screen, those quiet moments often become the most meaningful ones.

I approach therapy from a whole-person perspective because nothing you carry exists in isolation. Your body, your relationships, your history, and your nervous system all matter. Sometimes we'll sit with something difficult. Sometimes we'll gently name a pattern that's no longer serving you. Through it all, my hope is that you leave feeling understood, respected, and more connected to yourself.

I know what it costs to keep showing up when you're running low. I do this work because I believe being deeply understood can quietly change the course of someone's life.

Outside the therapy room, I find joy in creating a life that feels warm and intentional. Some people lovingly call me Type A, and they're probably right. I love planning road trips, decorating for the seasons, and paying attention to the little things—lighting, soft blankets, textures, and the details that make a space feel like home. You'll usually find me with my family, taking my dog for a drive, getting invested in a binge-worthy TV series or a good book, or wandering near the water with my birding app. Add an ice-cold Coca-Cola and the people I love, and I'm content.

If you're looking for someone who wants to understand more than your symptoms—someone who wants to know your story, your strengths, your humor, and the life you're trying to build—I would be honored to meet you there.

Hi, I'm Farrah.

I believe one of the bravest things we can do is allow ourselves to be truly seen. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, burnout, life transitions, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, I'm honored to provide a space where you don't have to carry it all alone.

Over the past eleven years, I've worked with children, adolescents, adults, and couples across inpatient psychiatric triage, crisis stabilization, geriatric behavioral health, emergency room psychiatric evaluations, and outpatient crisis services. Those experiences reinforced something I believe deeply: healing happens through safe, authentic relationships where people feel seen, understood, and accepted.

I don't believe therapy is about fixing you. I believe it's about understanding yourself with greater compassion so you can make intentional choices instead of reacting from old patterns. Many of the ways we think, feel, and respond today once helped us survive. Together, we'll explore those patterns with curiosity rather than judgment, honoring where they came from while creating new ones that better support the life you want to build.

One of my favorite parts of therapy is helping clients understand the "why" behind their experiences. I enjoy teaching about the brain, the nervous system, attachment, and the mind-body connection because understanding often brings freedom. When we replace self-criticism with curiosity, shame begins to loosen its grip, creating space for meaningful change.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you. I integrate evidence-based practices with a holistic perspective, recognizing that our emotional well-being is shaped by our relationships, our bodies, our experiences, and, for many, their spirituality. I believe insight is powerful, but insight paired with practical tools is transformational.

Above all, I strive to create a therapeutic relationship that feels genuine, nonjudgmental, and grounded in trust. I'll meet you with empathy, celebrate your strengths, gently challenge the patterns that no longer serve you, and occasionally bring a little humor into the room—because healing doesn't always happen through tears. Sometimes it happens through laughter, too.

Outside the therapy room, you'll usually find me with a cup of coffee or tea, reading a good book, listening to music, creating something artistic, or spending time outdoors. I've found that the moments inviting us to slow down and reconnect with ourselves are often the same moments that help us heal.

If you're looking for a therapist who values authenticity, curiosity, and whole-person healing, I would be honored to walk alongside you. My hope is that our work together helps you feel more understood, trust yourself more fully, and move through life with greater freedom and intention.
