Heal from trauma at any age or stage of life. Therapy changes lives. EMDR therapy shifts negative mindsets which changes how life is experienced. Work on the distorted beliefs that keep you stuck and shift negative thought processes to more adaptive and resilient ways to think. Move pass the past and feel more grounded in your present and empowered for your future.  

I create a safe place for you to process your concerns and heal. Sessions are conversational in nature. I want to hear your concerns in your own words and I will reflect back what I am hearing so you can confirm or correct. Our conversations help me to know which techniques are relevant and applicable to your concerns.  

My therapeutic roots are in attachment and complex trauma, the relational wounds that shape how we move through the world and who we let close. I work with anyone navigating the layered terrain of identity and connection. For couples, I specialize in ENM and polyamorous relationships, interracial and cross-cultural partnerships, and discernment counseling for couples weighing whether to stay or go. I also work with individuals carrying complex childhood or relational trauma—the kind that doesn’t just affect how you feel, but how you attach, trust, and show up in relationships. My clients often feel caught between worlds, wanting to feel seen and understood without having to explain everything. In our work, we slow down, explore what’s happening underneath the surface, and create room for healing and growth.  

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, culturally responsive, and tailored to the individual. Together, we work to understand the beliefs and experiences underlying current patterns, build greater self-awareness, and develop healthier ways of relating to work, money, achievement, and yourself.  

Many of my clients beat themselves up after challenging days, have increased anxiety, and a lingering sense of self-criticism over minor mistakes. They constantly replay alternative scenarios which end up becoming an incessant loop, persisting for days or even weeks. Frustration grows as they struggle to shake off this self-critical mindset, fostering thoughts of inadequacy and impostor syndrome. Worries about disappointing others both professionally and personally contributes to exhaustion daily. Despite attempts by friends and family to offer support, the feeling of being truly understood remains elusive, deepening the overall sense of fatigue. If you aspire to regain a sense of engagement in your life, pursue excellence in your career and personal life, experience love and support, and better manage stress and anxiety, these goals can be well within reach. I collaborate with my clients in helping understand the driving forces behind their pursuit of achievement and instilling hope in the possibility of change. Together, we craft solutions that sustain high performance while transforming the self-critical inner dialogue into one of support. I assist my clients learn a set of tools designed to temper self-criticism and manage anxiety, paving the way to a more calmer and focused life. If maintaining peak performance while navigating heightened anxiety and silencing that inner critic resonate with you, reach out for a complimentary 15 minute session. Prior to transitioning into private practice, I spent over a decade as a tenured professor. Throughout this time, my research delved into perfectionism, anxiety, and stress management. I am enthusiastic about helping clients learn the knowledge and insights gained from this experience to guide you toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.  

Therapy is more than talking. It is a collaborative relationship where we identify your goals, offer perspective, give you tools, and help you turn your insights into action.

Call today for your "risk-free" appointment!  

Who is Kyla and what is Open Book Therapy? The short answer - Millennial therapist, real-life conversations. Evidence-based care, zero judgment and a little humor to help you navigate life’s plot twist.  

Extraordinary love doesn't happen by accident. It happens when alignment meets action. If you're struggling with the end of a relationship, Conscious Uncoupling Coaching can help you process the heartbreak, understand relationship patterns, reclaim your sense of self, and move forward with greater clarity and freedom. If you're single and ready for lasting love, Calling in “The One” Coaching can help you uncover the patterns and inner obstacles that may be getting in the way of the relationship you desire, so you can create more authentic connections and move toward a loving, fulfilling partnership. Through compassionate, structured coaching, I support you in moving beyond old patterns and taking meaningful steps toward the future you want. My services are individual coaching, not psychotherapy or couples counseling.  

What if the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors you struggle with aren't signs that something is wrong with you—but clues that something important deserves your curiosity? Many of us spend years asking, "What's wrong with me?" I believe therapy begins with a different question: "What makes sense about the way I've learned to survive?" Together, we'll explore the patterns that have shaped your life with compassion rather than judgment, helping you develop more flexible ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions while creating meaningful, lasting change. If you're looking for a therapist who combines warmth, honest conversation, and evidence-based care, I'd be honored to work with you. If you'd like to learn more about my approach, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute consultation.  

I believe we all hold the capacity to heal within ourselves—sometimes it just takes the right space and support to uncover it. My work is grounded in empathy and curiosity, creating a space to explore the emotions, thoughts, and patterns that shape your experiences. Together, we’ll identify your values, build confidence, and develop coping skills and self-trust that support lasting healing and balance. My practice supports individuals of all ages, with a special focus on helping adolescents and young adults navigate transitions, strengthen self-esteem, and develop a clearer sense of self. As a therapist and former Division I athlete, I understand the desire to grow while carrying life’s many demands. I’m also passionate about working with athletes as they explore the connection between performance, identity, and mental health, drawing on my own experience with the pressures of striving for excellence—on and off the field, water, rink, etc. Outside of therapy, I coach high school rowing and find meaning in helping athletes strengthen both body and mind. As a native New Englander, time in nature grounds me, and thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2022 deepened my appreciation for resilience, presence, and the quiet power of taking things one step at a time.  

Our practice is grounded in a deep appreciation for the diverse experiences that shape each person’s life. Our founder grew up in Jamaica, Queens, surrounded and supported by three generations of remarkable women—an experience that continues to inform the values of care, resilience, and community that guide our work today. Across our practice, we have the privilege of supporting individuals from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and socioeconomic experiences, each bringing their own unique perspectives and concerns. As a practice founded by a Black, queer, first-generation college graduate, we hold a strong awareness of how power, privilege, and systemic forces shape daily life and mental health. We also recognize the vulnerability it takes to seek therapy. Our work is informed not only by clinical expertise, but by a deep respect for the courage and commitment involved in pursuing healing and meaningful change. This perspective shapes our intention to create a space that is thoughtful, affirming, and responsive to the full complexity of our clients’ lived experiences.

I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges by providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where they feel heard and understood. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each client’s unique needs, using evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help clients overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, and difficult life transitions. My goal is to help clients develop practical coping skills, process past experiences, and create meaningful change. For those who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling that integrates faith into the therapy process.  

Psychotherapy can be challenging, but it is a rewarding process. Most people come in to discuss the problems in their lives. They often forget about what is going well, and what are their natural talents and abilities. I train and supervise psychologists at area hospitals. Because of this I am sensitive to ethical concerns: honesty, integrity and practicality. I strive to create a very kind and safe atmosphere where personal exploration is possible. Psychotherapy should be collaborative. I am active and vocal and give my clients ongoing feedback, inquiry and support.  

I work with women who are used to being the person everyone else can count on but often struggle to give themselves that same care. You may find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no, feeling guilty when you set a boundary, overthinking whether someone is upset with you, or constantly putting other people's feelings and needs ahead of your own. Maybe you look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside you're exhausted, anxious, questioning yourself, or wondering when you lost touch with who you are and what you need. I help women struggling with people-pleasing, low self-esteem, boundaries, anxiety, depression, and trauma understand and heal the deeper wounds and patterns that keep them stuck. My goal isn't to teach you to stop caring about other people or become someone you're not. I want to help you learn how to care about others without continually abandoning yourself in the process. Together, we'll work toward helping you trust yourself, strengthen your voice, set healthier boundaries without being consumed by guilt, develop greater self-compassion, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have gotten lost while you were busy being who everyone else needed you to be.  

I am a psychologist, marriage family therapist, bioenergetic analyst, and psychoanalyst with more than 30 years of clinical experience in treating adolescents, adults, and marital couples. I am skilled in helping a person to feel understood and related to in a new and helpful way.  

When life feels heavy, whether from constant conflict with your partner, ADHD stress, or the weight of grief and anxiety, you don’t have to carry it alone. I provide a supportive space where couples can repair trust, reignite intimacy, and communicate safely, and where individuals can find calm, clarity, and confidence. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you and create small, meaningful changes that bring relief and hope. I work with couples feeling disconnected or struggling with sexual concerns, and with individuals facing ADHD, anxiety, grief, or stress. Therapy is a chance to feel truly heard while developing practical tools to create balance and strengthen the relationships that matter most. Clients often share that they feel lighter, calmer, and more connected after sessions. Whether you’re seeking closeness with your partner, ways to manage ADHD, or support through loss, I’d be honored to help. Reach out today for a free 15-minute consultation and let’s begin.
