Kayla believes that therapy should feel approachable and welcoming. She loves bringing creativity and fun into her work with her clients.

Kayla provides therapy for children and adolescents. She strives to help her clients feel heard and understood. Kayla has worked with many diverse individuals in clinical and research settings, including challenges related to attention, mood, anxiety, and behaviour.

Kayla is sometimes assisted by her doggy helper, Daisy. Daisy is a goldendoodle. She loves playing fetch and getting belly scratches (and back scratches and head scratches). Daisy and Kayla have worked very hard together to complete the Canine Good Neighbour program. This means that Daisy is polite and trustworthy around new people. Daisy can be very supportive in building confidence and coping skills. She also helps people feel safe and comfortable while they express their thoughts and feelings.

Kayla has completed two masters’ degrees in school psychology. She has also completed additional training in Animal-Assisted Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Narrative Therapy, play-based therapy and nature-based therapy. Kayla also has experience working in school, community, and private practice settings in Ontario, Alberta, and the Northwest Territories.

Kayla aims to support children and their families grow, heal and thrive. Services are available both in-person and virtually. Kayla is currently providing her services as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). She is working towards registration with the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario. She works under the supervision of Dr. Robin Mitchell, Ph.D. C. Psych.
