Chrysalis Counseling Staff

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - Supervising Counselor

Hi I'm Kayla, a clinician here at Chrysalis Counseling Center.  I am a graduate of Ohio University with a Master's of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.  I help youth and adults find their strengths and build on their areas to be grown.  My previous work has been with children who have been abused and neglected.  I have also worked with very young children who need to learn skills to manage their emotions and behaviors. 

I help clients realize what is already inside them and how to utilize their skills fully.  I use a variety of theories and techniques depending on your individual needs.  A lot of my focus is on how the brain works.  The brain is the powerhouse of our everything.  To change we need to understand how the brain works.  When we can understand how to change the brain, we can change anything. 

As your therapist, I hope to help you learn, grow and be a more fully happy you!  My favorite part of my job is seeing/hearing someone use a phrase or skill they learned in normal life or normal play.  I firmly believe everyone needs to play throughout their lives and enjoy helping people find what is play for them.
