About Me

HI! I'm Kayla. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in the state of Tennessee. I am currently working in person in Clarksville though I'm able to see clients across the state of Tennessee via telehealth. My professional experience includes working with active duty military and veterans on a large military installation and across the globe with a large VSO and in the community on a smaller scale in community mental health. I have a particular niche in working with sex and love addicts as well as betrayed partners. I have been in private practice for the past 8 years with with adults across the lifespan, addressing issues and making positive changes. When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling with my boyfriend to visit all the ballparks in the MLB, hanging out with friends, and working out.
