HI! I’M KAILEY.
I’m a psychotherapist, runner, foodie, and — most importantly — a real, human person in a constant state of growth, learning, and transformation. I’m committed to doing my own inner work while supporting others in doing theirs.
I see therapy as a collaborative and transformative journey, a space where you can explore who you are, uncover patterns from your past, and build tools to live a more authentic and fulfilling life.
My approach is integrative and relational, meaning I draw from multiple modalities to meet your unique needs while fostering a genuine connection between us. Together, we’ll navigate your challenges, celebrate your victories, and create a space where vulnerability, insight, and even a little humor are always welcome.
I bring my full self into our work — the messy, the silly, and the serious — and I want you to feel free to do the same. In our work together, you can expect honesty, curiosity, and a commitment to your growth, in a safe, nonjudgmental space to be your whole self.
HOW IT WORKS
What to expect in therapy
Therapy, to me, is a space for exploration, connection, and growth. It’s a place where you can show up fully as yourself — messy, complicated, uncertain, curious — and be met with compassion, curiosity, and care. Therapy is your space to figure out who you are and ask questions about what life means, where you’ve been, and where you’re going.
My approach is relational and collaborative. That means we don’t just focus on symptoms or quick fixes — we work together to understand the deeper patterns, stories, and experiences that have shaped you. You can expect thoughtful questions, honest reactions, direct and compassionate feedback, and even some humor along the way.
Together, we’ll uncover the roots of your struggles, explore the possibilities of change, and build tools that help you move toward a more grounded, fulfilling future. Sometimes the work feels challenging, sometimes it feels joyful — but my goal is that it always feels worthwhile.
I take an integrative approach, drawing from different therapeutic modalities. Here you’ll find brief descriptions of some the of frameworks and modalities that influence my practice.
-
This is the core of the work we will do together and informs all other modalities we might integrate.
Psychodynamic therapy helps you uncover unconscious patterns — like core beliefs, defense mechanisms, and repressed emotions — that influence how you think, feel, and relate. Using psychodynamic techniques, I support you in connecting past experiences to your present life, helping you develop healthier coping strategies and build more positive relationships with yourself and others.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is based on the idea that our minds are made up of many “parts,” each with its own role and intention. Some parts protect us but can also create conflict or confusion. I use IFS to help you connect with your inner system, understand and integrate your parts, and cultivate your core Self — a state of confidence, calm, compassion, courage, creativity, clarity, curiosity, and connectedness.
-
Attachment theory explores how early bonds with caregivers shape the way we relate to others. Many of us carry some attachment insecurity, which can show up as anxious or avoidant patterns in relationships. I support you in healing these attachment wounds, helping you embrace vulnerability, foster intimacy, and form deeper, healthier connections with yourself and others.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful, values-based action toward the life you want. ACT is about helping you live a meaningful and fulfilling life, even when difficult thoughts and emotions arise. Rather than trying to eliminate discomfort, ACT teaches you to notice and accept your inner experiences. Together, we focus on building mindfulness skills, clarifying what matters most to you, and taking committed actions that align with your goals.
