Hi there! My name is Kayla (she/her). I am a psychotherapist who helps folks transform trauma in order to deepen experiences of presence and connection. My practice uses an experiential approach drawn from somatic, expressive arts, and relational psychotherapies.
I am passionate about this work because I believe fully in our embodied potential for healing through creative connection. Within my own life, and throughout my career I have witnessed how attending to our bodies through the arts can ease symptoms of trauma and open up space for co-creating safe-enough and vibrant relationships.
While our world is full of incredible beauty, it is also full of big and small forms of trauma. Trauma emerges from our body’s protective responses during overwhelming events, and also from internalizing patterns of survival within the inequities (and many embedded “isms”) of a colonial-capitalist society.
I offer somatic expressive arts therapy as an imaginative and experiential way of “being-with” in a therapeutic relationship. Through a relational “low-skill, high-sensitivity” engagement with the arts process (experimenting together with visual art, sound, voice, movement, writing, storytelling, and other art forms) we can access our rich creative resources, support our somatic aliveness, and reshape patterns of connecting with ourselves and others. No previous body- or arts-based experience is required, only a spark of curiosity to try a new way of doing therapy together.
In Spring/Summer 2023 I am excited to add outdoors/eco-therapy to my offerings, integrating
