Hi, I’m Kayla

I’m a Houston-based therapist with specialties in the recovery from borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction issues. I do not see anyone as defined by their symptoms — symptoms are a way of telling your story.

I combine DBT skill-building, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic processing, and attachment-informed learning to help clients reduce symptoms and develop a stronger, more integrated sense of self.

Together we build practical skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectivenesswhile also exploring patterns, meanings, and relational histories that shape your experience. My goal is to help you move beyond diagnostic labels to live with greater clarity, connection, and purpose.

I’m based in the Houston area and hold an independent license to practice clinical social work in Texas. When I’m not working with clients, I paint professionally, read and write fiction, and stay involved in the recovery community as an advocate.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I provide individual therapy for adults (18+) , offering a supportive space to explore challenges, build practical skills, and reconnect with who you are beyond your symptoms. My work blends insight-oriented therapy with skill-building approaches to support meaningful, lasting change in your everyday life.

  • Getting started is simple. You can reach out by emailing me directly or by filling out the contact form on my website. Once I receive your message, I’ll respond within 24–48 business hours to discuss next steps and answer any initial questions. From there, we’ll determine whether working together feels like a good fit.

  • I believe therapy works best when it’s both deeply relational and practical. Alongside thoughtful therapeutic processing, I focus on helping you build skills you can actually use between sessions. I tailor our work to you (your values, your goals, and what’s showing up in your life) rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

  • Absolutely! I believe the therapy container is often best experienced in a safe, confidential space away from outside distractions.

    My office is located in the Galleria area of Houston, TX at 5444 Westheimer Road.

    I can also always meet virtually for clients located across Texas.

  • Session frequency is flexible and collaborative. We can meet weekly, biweekly, or at a cadence that makes sense for your needs, goals, and schedule. We’ll revisit this together over time and adjust as needed.

  • Individual therapy sessions are $180/session.

  • Currently, I am only accepting new individual clients on a self-pay basis. My rate is $180/hour for both in-person or Telehealth visits.
