Helping You Align with Your Values, Break Unhealthy Patternsnal Life
Let’s Untangle the Sh*t You Grew Up With
Let’s be real: growing up with emotionally immature parents — whether they were narcissistic, anxious, alcoholic, or just completely unavailable — leaves a mark.
Maybe you became the overachiever, the fixer, the one who always has their shit together (at least on the outside).
But inside? You’re anxious, exhausted, and stuck in patterns you swore you’d never repeat.
That’s where I come in.
I work with high-functioning adults who are DONE carrying their childhood chaos into their adult relationships.
You’re smart. You’ve read the books. You might’ve even done therapy before.
But you’re still stuck in the same loops — overthinking, people-pleasing, and getting triggered by the people closest to you.
Hi! I’m Kayla
I’m a licensed therapist, entrepreneur, and advocate for living with intention. Through years of professional and personal experience, I’ve seen how transformative it can be to shift from simply surviving to thriving by aligning your actions with your deepest values.
Whether you’re looking to break free from old patterns, reduce stress, or create more meaning in your daily life, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. My mission is to help you reconnect with what truly matters, clear away what doesn’t, and take purposeful steps toward the life you deserve.
👋 You’re ready for more than just “talk therapy.”
You’ve done the work. Maybe even years of it.
But somehow you keep circling the same patterns — anxiety, emotional shutdowns, overfunctioning in your relationships, feeling stuck no matter how much insight you gain.
Whether you're dealing with the long-term impact of being raised in a chaotic or emotionally immature family, or just craving tools to show up more grounded and confident — you're in the right place.
Why I Do This Work
My passion for helping others comes from my own journey of overcoming challenges. Growing up in a chaotic environment taught me the importance of resilience, and it’s what drew me to the healing profession. I know what it’s like to feel stuck in cycles that no longer serve you—and I also know the freedom that comes from breaking through.
As a therapist and coach, I’ve had the honor of working with hundreds of people who were ready to take that step toward change. I’ve helped them navigate difficult emotions, build healthy habits, and find clarity in the midst of life’s chaos. And now, I want to do the same for you.
What You Can Expect from Working with Me
My approach is down-to-earth, practical, and results-oriented. Whether it’s through one-on-one mental-health coaching or my podcast Not Your Therapist, my focus is always on giving you tools that work in real life.
You don’t need perfection or another to-do list—you need clarity, consistency, and small, actionable steps that lead to meaningful change.
Let’s Work Together
Are you ready to:
Break free from unhealthy patterns?
Reconnect with your values and live more intentionally?
Create a life that reflects what truly matters to you?
If so, let’s get started. Check out my free resources, listen to my podcast, or reach out to learn more about how we can work together.
Therapy (NC Residents Only)
Licensed therapy sessions are available through Evolution Wellness, my North Carolina-based counseling practice.
If you're an NC resident looking for support around anxiety, boundaries, relationship struggles, or healing from dysfunctional family dynamics — we can work together under my clinical license.
Insurance may be available depending on your benefits. This is best for folks wanting a traditional therapy route with a licensed provider.
Mental Health Coaching (Available Worldwide)
If you live outside of North Carolina — or you’re not looking for a diagnosis or insurance-based therapy — coaching may be the better fit.
Coaching is more action-oriented and doesn’t involve formal clinical treatment.
We’ll focus on emotional regulation, breaking unhealthy patterns, and building self-trust, with a no-BS, forward-moving approach.
It’s not therapy — but it can be transformative.
📆 How It Works
✔️ Weekly sessions (50 minutes) for 3 months
✔️ Held virtually on Wednesdays between 9am–3pm (EST)
✔️ You get a dedicated time slot so you can stay consistent and supported
✔️ All clients — therapy or coaching — fill out the same application to get started
🚀 Ready to get unstuck?
Apply now and I’ll follow up personally within 48 hours.
If it’s a good fit, we’ll book your first session. If not, I’ll refer you to someone I trust.
I want to hear from you.
No, really—I do! Whether you have a question, a topic suggestion for the podcast, or just want to say hello, I'm all ears. But hey, let’s keep it kind—no trolling, please. I have feelings too!
