"We are born in relationship. We are wounded in relationship. We are healed in relationship. We cannot know or become who we are except in relationship."
- Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt
Welcome
Do you find yourself putting others’ needs before your own? Do you struggle to set boundaries, speak up for yourself, or know what you truly want? Do your relationships sometimes leave you feeling overwhelmed, resentful, or disconnected from yourself?
You may be caught in patterns of codependency without even realizing it. When you’ve spent so much time prioritizing others, it can be difficult to recognize what you need—or to trust yourself enough to make space for it. Whether you’re struggling with relationship patterns, navigating a difficult transition, or simply wanting a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
It takes vulnerability and trust to invest in yourself and begin doing things differently, and I respect you for being here.
You have more power than you might think to create space for yourself in your own life. You can live a life that feels meaningful and authentic to you—one shaped by your own choices, your own direction, and your own values.
I’m passionate about helping people develop the awareness, skills, and confidence to truly come into their own. Through both therapy and relationship coaching, I offer a supportive space to explore what’s keeping you stuck, understand your patterns, and create meaningful change. Whether you are looking for deeper personal healing or focused support with your relationships, our work will be grounded in your goals and what matters most to you.
I provide affirming, practical support that you can integrate into your daily life between sessions. The tools and processes we explore together are designed to support greater self-awareness, healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, and lasting change. In therapy, depending on your needs, our work may draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, somatic approaches, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). In relationship coaching, we may focus on communication, boundaries, relational patterns, self-trust, conflict, and creating relationships that feel more connected and fulfilling.
Our first sessions are an opportunity to understand where you are now, what you’ve experienced, and what you most want to change. If you’d like, we can begin with a brief mindfulness practice to help you feel grounded and present.
From there, we’ll work with the places where you feel most “stuck”—whether within yourself, in your relationships, or in the choices you’re trying to make. We’ll build awareness, develop practical tools, and create movement toward the life and relationships you want, at a pace that feels supportive and manageable for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I’m ready for counseling or coaching?
You might be ready for counseling or coaching if you’re feeling stuck in patterns that aren’t working anymore, noticing the same worries or conflicts coming up again and again, or sensing that you can’t keep doing it all on your own. Many people reach out when their stress, anxiety, or relationship struggles start to affect sleep, work, or the way they show up with people they love. You don’t have to be in crisis to begin—feeling curious about change, wanting support, or simply wondering “Could this help me?” are all good signs you’re ready to start.
What’s the difference between counseling and coaching?
Counseling is typically focused on healing, processing emotions, and working with mental health concerns, and it can often be supported by insurance. Coaching is more future-focused and action-oriented, helping you set goals, build skills, and create change in specific areas of life. Both offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to grow, and many tools—like mindfulness, values work, and practical strategies—overlap between them.
How do fees, insurance, and payments work?
Kaila is an insurance-friendly provider offering counseling services covered by many panels. Check here to see about your particular insurance. Coaching is an out-of-pocket investment. We recommend contacting your carrier to verify specific behavioral health benefits and mental health coverage details.

I've known Kaila as a friend and colleague for 15 years. As a therapist she combines a diverse skill-set with a deep loving-kindness for the complexities and struggles of the human experience. In peer consultations I've had the privilege of hearing how she skillfully weaves contemplative, client-centered therapy with evidence-based tools, to help people heal and create meaningful changes in their lives.
