I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in treating individuals, couples, and families. I accept each individual without judgement while providing an environment of warmth, positive regard, acceptance, and compassion. I find that most individuals who are seeking help are stuck in some way, and hence, are experiencing anxiety and/or depressive symptoms. My goal is to assist the client by problem solving together in order to get back on the right track in attaining peace and understanding.

As a relationship and sex therapist specializing in women's sexual health, my ideal client is a woman seeking to heal and thrive. She may face challenges such as past sexual trauma, intimacy issues, low libido, or menopause concerns. She needs a safe, empathetic space to explore her feelings and experiences. Her goals are to reclaim her sexual autonomy, improve her relationships, and cultivate self-love. She wants to rediscover joy and confidence in her sexuality, understanding that this journey is vital for her overall well-being and personal empowerment. I also work with men with similar challenges.

Tired of scanning therapist profiles? Almost feels like a bad dating app experience? I'll cut to the chase; some of my favorites to work with are: people-pleasers/stressed and anxious "high performers"/those wondering why they keep dating jerks/religious deconstruction.

I am a Certified Gottman Couples Therapist helping couples with marriage and/or relationship counseling. This begins with a thorough, research-based assessment which clarifies the particular strengths and needs of each couple. With this information, I collaborate with clients to develop treatment goals and a treatment plan.

I also integrate Christian counseling for those interested in integrating their spiritual and emotional development in their therapy.

Hi! I'm Elizabeth. If you're reading this, you or someone you care about might be interested in seeking counseling services. Working through relationship and family of origin issues, challenging negative belief systems and improving unhelpful habits/thoughts are a few areas worked on often in therapy. I have worked with those who are adjusting to change, grieving, experiencing depression/anxiety (postpartum or otherwise) as well as teenagers coping with change, and children and families coping with divorce. My desire is to walk alongside clients to help navigate whatever issue is before them.

I have gained clinical experience with working alongside adults who would like to address concerns of mental health symptoms, family/relationship concerns, addiction, trauma, grief and overall life transitions.

Utilizing a dynamic therapeutic style, that draws from multiple theories, Kyla encourages clients to reconnect and balance emotionally, physically, spiritually, and socially. Through therapy, clients are inspired to look beyond the constructs of their traumatic experiences in an environment that fosters transparency, honesty, and sustainable growth.

I believe that childhood experiences play a major role in our lives as adults.

Here’s the thing, you do not have to solve it, heal from it, get over it, get past it, or figure it out alone.

Your life should not be limited to living in familiar discomfort. You deserve genuine happiness and abundance in every area that you exist in. I can help you. It is time to start being intentional about your healing process, don't you think?

I even use humor sometimes, but we don't waste a moment! I welcome couples who have been in couple therapy before and have almost given up.

In our lives we juggle multiple relationships/ roles every day; our relationship to friends, family, our significant others, & co-workers/ teachers. Let's not forget the relationship to ourselves, one of the most important relationships we can have! Sometimes it is overwhelming trying to be the best that we can be. Sometimes we settle for just getting by. That is okay, to a point. However, when we do not feel like ourselves, or our relationships start changing, feeling stressed, or off track, to a point that it is influencing other parts of our lives that is where I can help.
