Get to know Kayla

Why did you decide to become a counselor?

There is something so amazing seeing the change that can happen in therapy in just even the slightest way.

What’s one thing you wish all clients knew?

I believe that a holistic approach and team are where the best results come from.

What inspires you?

My family, exercises, and the growing mental health community.

What can clients expect in their first session with you?

An open space to build trust and begin the journey to a better healthier you.

What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?

Building rapport is the number one focus in the beginning of treatment to build that trust and feeling of safety and comfort.

What do you do for fun/on your time off?

I am trying to run a marathon/half marathon in all 50 states, so on my free time you can usually catch me outside running/training, cheering on WVU (Go Mountaineers) or relaxing with family and friends.
