From Kayla:

I’ve been in clinical practice for nine years, and have served as a social worker to individuals and families in the Greater Lafayette community since 2010. I earned my undergrad degree from Anderson University and my master’s from IUPUI, both in Social Work. More recently, I trained with Postpartum Support International in Perinatal Mood Disorders, as well as Perinatal Loss. I have also been trained as a Somatic EMDR Practitioner.

I enjoy working with kids who are figuring out their world, supporting parents who are “in the thick of it,” as well as adults, often stretched thin, seeking clarity or support in their life. I believe in a collaborative and holistic approach, addressing both mind and body, as well as acknowledging the systems that influence and impact us.

I’m a wife and mother, as well as a friend, daughter and sister. I enjoy cooking, traveling, quality time with loved ones and creative projects.

I look forward to meeting you!
