Hi, i'm kylie!

my work

I would love to be a part of you or your loved one’s therapy journey. I enjoy working with children aged 8+, teens, adults, and couples of all backgrounds. My clients are often dealing with trauma, grief, self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, life transitions, LGBTQIA+ needs, premarital/marital counseling, parenting issues, substance abuse, family conflict, & relationship difficulties. Please know that you do not have to face these things on your own. I offer individual and couple sessions as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in addition to offering pre-marital assessment and support to engaged or soon-to-be-engaged couples as a Certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator.

​

therapy style

I utilize a collaborative and personalized approach to therapy. This means that in addition to traditional talk therapy, I also implement various experiential and evidence-based techniques that pull from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems Theory, Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Motion Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and other client-centered therapy modalities — all handpicked to meet your individual needs. It is my desire that you leave each session feeling validated, heard, and armed with a hope and plan to empower you through the time between our sessions.

MY COMMITMENT TO YOU

When you become a client of mine, my commitment to you is that I will work with you to regularly identify your goals and discover how we can get there together, by providing a safe, judgment-free environment to explore your reality — the good, bad, & everything in between. It's a privilege to be a part of your journey, and I aim to help you along the way through proactivity, collaboration, & compassion. I welcome and encourage feedback from you to continuously make the most of our time together.

CLINICAL BACKGROUND

Over the past nine years, I have had the incredible opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients and needs across various atmospheres. My clinical background includes providing individual, couples, family and group therapy at The Brief Therapy Institute in Davie, Florida. I have also previously served as a Behavioral Health Counselor at Broward Outreach Center, a comprehensive residential program aimed at overcoming homelessness and substance abuse, as well as a Bereavement Clinician at Camp Erin, a youth camp for bereaved children aged 5 to 18.  I also have several years of experience serving as an elementary school-based clinician to grades K-6th. I received my Master's Degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University after completing my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at Florida Atlantic University. I currently work with individuals, couples, & families at Oasis Psychological Services in Atlanta, GA and also offer virtual services to Florida state residents.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time traveling with friends, curating endless music playlists, playing pickleball, catching up on the latest reality TV shows, visiting my (giant!) family in Florida, scoping out new coffee shops around the city, and working part-time as a freelance makeup artist.

If you are interested in therapy and think that I could be of help to you, I encourage you to contact me today!
