Are you feeling anxious, having excessive worries, fearing judgement, or even feeling uncomfortable in your body?

Feeling stuck in these issues and in your own head might be leading you to feel hopeless about yourself and the future. I specialize in helping individuals better understand, manage and address social anxiety, stress, sadness, anxiety, feeling disconnected, relationship difficulties and more.

Hi! My name is Kayla and I am a registered Social Worker in Ontario and Saskatchewan. I completed my Masters of Social Work at the University of Toronto and have been working in the field of Mental Health as a Clinical Therapist since 2018. I have worked from a young age with youth, adolescents and adults in a variety of settings and environments that has helped me develop diverse and unique skills to work collaboratively and effectively with these population. My work within different environments varying needs and how to ensure a client-centered approach to treatment.

Every remarkable journey begins with a single step, and today, you're taking that courageous stride towards your well-being. I commend your decision to seek support as an act of self-care, and I'm here to provide the safe and nurturing space you need to express your thoughts and emotions freely. Whether you're navigating personal challenges, working on relationships, exploring effective parenting techniques, or fostering a stronger connection with your children, I'm here to stand by your side. Together, we'll embark on this transformative journey, where every piece of your life finds its place.

Are you struggling with anger or resentment over a past hurt, feeling overwhelmed with the day-to-day stresses, or feeling anxious about your life and future? Maybe you’re finding it hard to balance everything and it’s impacting your mood and relationships. You want to feel calm, happy and start truly enjoying life again. As a social worker with over 15 years experience, I can help. I believe in each person’s worth and strengths and will help you rediscover yours. I value people’s individuality and believe each person is their own expert and sometimes all we need is for someone to help us put things into perspective.

Mental health is just as important as physical health, and finding the right therapist can be especially helpful. Children, adolescents, and their families have the difficult task of managing development, emerging emotions, and life transitions. There are also factors that did not exist years ago, such as social media, and the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic across age groups and populations. I am dedicated to supporting others in coping during these challenging times.

Has COVID has made life for you or your family harder? Are cyber bullying, online addiction, increased anxiety and depression becoming a problem? Do you have concerns about ADHD, Autism, or other developmental conditions? Parents often struggle to understand their own feelings and emotions when they see their child in pain. Many of the troubling behaviours that we see are really cries for help and support. Children and teenagers experience stresses that didn’t exist only a short time ago and need our help. We are living in challenging times and the good news is that help is available both online and in person.

Life is full of surprises, and even on our best days, challenges can feel overwhelming. Through my personal journey navigating life's complexities and with my experience in the mental health field, I've come to understand the strength it takes to confront these challenges and that it is a personal journey for each of us. Through my own journey and experiences in both my personal and professional life I have experienced the impacts of mental health and stigma, and this has inspired me to be there for those who may be struggling and need help finding a voice and identifying their journey.

I am a registered psychotherapist and also a registered art psychotherapist. I am located in Vaughan, ON and offer therapy who have mental health challenges like anxiety and depression. I believe that my clients have their individual and unique needs, and each person should be treated based on their specific challenges. I offer therapy sessions in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space and I love seeing them feel better and leaving my room with good coping skills and ideas that can help them improve their mental health challenges.

We teach people how to treat us. If we don’t know how to love ourselves, to accept ourselves, to be compassionate with ourselves, how can we expect others to? If you struggle with issues such as people pleasing, guilt, shame, having high expectations of yourself but have low expectations of others then you have placed others’ needs over your own. If you have a hard time saying no because you worry that others will not like you or want to spend time with you, then working on boundaries assists you with experiencing clearer expectations of yourself and others. Work towards a healthier you.

I always approach my clients in with an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, harm reduction framework. What does that mean? It means that I will always ask "what happened to you?" instead of asking "what's wrong with you?". It also means that I will always respect you as the expert in your own life. Finally, it means that I believe that everyone does their very best to survive and thrive each day–even on the days that we can't see any hope. I am here to be with you, even through the darkest of days, and help you find inspiration and hope within yourself.

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” -Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. I believe that every person has inherent worth and is on a journey of healing, growth, and love. We all come with our own challenges and strengths. However, there may have been things that have made life not okay for you and that has brought on a layer of challenges that are heavy to hold alone. My commitment is to meet individuals, couples, and families in their process of making sense of the mysteries and difficulties in which we find ourselves and to offer encouragement, comfort, and hope.

I believe that every person and every relationship is sacred. As a psychotherapist with a background in spiritual care, I aspire to help individuals see the sacred light within themselves.
