I work primarily with teens, young adults, parents, and adults navigating life transitions and complex family dynamics - especially around anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, trauma, and changes like divorce or blended families. I know these experiences can feel messy and heavy, and my goal is to help you make sense of what’s going on while finding a path forward that actually feels manageable.
I especially enjoy working with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I tend to connect well with teens who might be more guarded or unsure about therapy. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start.
Above all, I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, truly understood, and supported as you move toward meaningful change.
My therapeutic approach is open and straightforward. I use only scientifically-based methods, years of experience and customized techniques, to match your specific needs.
My style is direct, encouraging, culturally informed, creative and trauma trained.
My practice specializes in:
- Individuals with family histories of trauma, abuse, addiction, and abandonment
- Couples hoping to improve their relationships
- Parents striving to do their best
Life is full of ups and downs, and I have learned from both personal and professional experience that 'suffering in silence' is not really sustainable or healthy for anyone. You deserve to feel heard and to function at your best level. I have 6 years' experience post-graduation from the University of Texas with helping folks do just that. From nonprofits, to medical clinics, to correctional facilities, to teletherapy, I have connected deeply and partnered with many clients and families to trudge through some of their darkest hours and find more validation, calmness, and acceptance. My fluency in Spanish has given me opportunities to break down walls and connect with hundreds of clients whose cultural background is different than mine. I would be honored to have the chance to see if working together is a good fit for your healing journey.
My passion lies in providing a safe and supportive space for individuals who are navigating difficult experiences. I approach this with empathetic listening and a fresh perspective, offering guidance and support through the toughest of times. Life challenges us with moments of stress, anxiety, depression, loss, and fear. During these times, it can feel like we're struggling to hold everything together. I know these moments intimately, and I understand the discomfort and frustration they bring.
With a background in working with individuals across various age groups, including children, teenagers, and adults, I bring extensive experience to our therapeutic relationship. My focus areas include ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, anxiety, and complex PTSD. I understand that each individual's journey is unique, and I'm here to provide the support you need to navigate the challenges you may be facing.
Hello! I'm Kayla, and I’m excited to be part of your journey. After spending over 13 years in education, I transitioned into the mental health field, earning my Master’s degree in Counseling and Human Services from UCCS here in Colorado Springs. I deeply believe that each person’s path to growth is unique, and I’m committed to supporting my clients with the therapeutic approach that best fits their needs. I’ve seen incredible healing unfold through the strong, authentic connections and relationships we build together. I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Colorado
Searching for therapists in Colorado means choosing from a wide range of licensed therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual care. If you’re looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Location and scheduling matter when comparing Colorado therapists. Someone in Denver may have access to many nearby offices, while someone in Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, or a mountain or rural community may want to include virtual sessions in their search. Some people prefer meeting in a therapist’s office, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility. As you narrow your options, review whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect in the first appointment.
The cost of therapy in Colorado can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps by verifying your insurance, showing estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and connecting you with licensed therapists who are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your location and plan as you search — making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your insurance, and has availability.
