Kayla has a passion and is specializing in sport and performance psychology, supporting individuals in optimizing performance, resilience, and mental well-being across athletic, academic, and high-pressure life contexts. She also supports clients navigating injuries, recovery, and return-to-play. She utilizes a strengths-based, collaborative framework, helping clients enhance motivation, focus, emotional regulation, and confidence while navigating both performance demands and personal challenges.
