Healing Starts Here

Soulful Pathways was founded on the belief that meaningful healing happens when we feel safe enough to be fully seen. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to help you develop practical skills, deepen insight and self-understanding, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentic. Whether you're navigating the path of parenthood, relationship challenges, anxiety, trauma, loss, or simply feeling stuck, you'll find a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where meaningful change is possible.

The Right Fit Matters

The relationship you have with your therapist is one of the most important factors in the therapeutic process. Finding someone who feels like the right fit is so important! If you're considering working together, I'd be happy to answer your questions, learn a little bit about what brings you to therapy, and help you determine whether my approach aligns with your needs.

About Kayla

One of the greatest joys of my work is hearing the stories that shape the lives and perspectives of my clients. I am deeply honored each time someone entrusts me with those stories. Whether you're moving through a difficult season, relationship struggles, or just longing to feel more like yourself again, I'm here to walk alongside you as a fellow traveler, with curiosity, compassion, and practical guidance. I believe meaningful change begins within a genuine, trusting relationship. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. Every person's story is unique, so I tailor therapy to your strengths, experiences, and goals. I believe wellness comes from caring for the whole person—mind, body, spirit, and relationships.
While I work with a broad range of mental health concerns, I have a passion for supporting individuals and couples through life's most significant transitions. I specialize in perinatal mental health and have advanced training in the Gottman Method of couples therapy, helping clients navigate parenthood, strengthen relationships, and move through life's challenges with greater insight, compassion, and clarity.

Outside of the therapy office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our daughters, tending to my flower garden, and exploring the Rhode Island coast. Those moments help me slow down, stay present, and remember that growth happens gradually and can't be forced. I've learned that healing comes not from avoiding difficult experiences, but from moving through them with curiosity, self-compassion, and support. That perspective shapes the way I practice therapy and the space I strive to create for every client.
