Welcome to Hidden Gems Blog

As you may know, I’m Kayla and I am a licensed psychotherapist and social worker. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families whose lives have been shaped by both past and present challenges.

As someone who has always turned to creativity and self-discovery to navigate life’s ups and downs, I deeply understand the power of having the right tools and guidance. My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, creativity, and care. I firmly believe that transformation is possible for everyone, no matter the hurdles they face. My mission is to empower you to cultivate self-awareness, resilience, and confidence as you navigate life’s complexities and pursue your dreams.

I created Hidden Gems to extend the conversations I have in sessions to a broader audience. This is a space to explore insights, encouragement, and creative tools designed to help you stay inspired—especially during those moments when life feels overwhelming. In today’s political, sociocultural, and economic climate, it’s easy to feel stuck, defeated, and burnt out. My hope is for this blog to offer you moments of hope, self-discovery, and a touch of idealism to carry with you.
