Kayla earned her Master of Arts in Communication and Culture through the joint program at York and Toronto Metropolitan University, with a focus on mass media and crowd psychology. She then completed a Masters in Psychology, specializing in Clinical and Counselling Psychology at the Adler Graduate Professional School where she is now pursuing a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Kayla is a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) in Ontario, with experience in psychological assessments and a range of mental health challenges including but not limited to Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Bipolar Disorder (BD), ADHD and PTSD.
Kayla builds a strong therapeutic relationship before working within a particular therapeutic framework. She listens carefully to people’s situation, goals, and concerns, providing tools and exercises that promote self-reflection and personal growth.
Her practice is informed by multiple therapeutic frameworks, including Adlerian Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Couples Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Grief Counselling. In her couples therapy she helps people navigate difficult conversations about miscommunication and infidelity, aimed at emotionally processing pent-up feelings, thoughts, and pain, while teaching effective communication strategies to manage challenging relationships worth working through.
