Meet Kayli

Kayli is in her third year of clinical training and enjoys working with children, adolescents, and adults from all walks of life. She believes therapy is a collaborative process and strives to create a warm, welcoming environment where clients feel safe to be themselves, share openly, and work toward the changes that matter most to them.

Kayli chose a career in psychology because of her lifelong passion for helping others. She understands that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable and overwhelming, and she considers it a privilege to walk alongside clients through life's challenges. Whether someone is managing everyday stress, navigating a major life transition, or seeking greater self-understanding, Kayli's goal is to provide compassionate support, practical tools, and evidence-based care tailored to each client's unique needs.

Education & Training
 

Kayli is currently pursuing her Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) at California Baptist University. She earned her Master of Science in Psychology from Purdue University Global and her Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from California Baptist University. Her education and clinical training have strengthened her commitment to helping individuals build resilience, overcome obstacles, and recognize their own strengths.

She values the therapeutic relationship and believes that meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. By fostering a collaborative and trusting partnership, Kayli empowers clients to gain insight, develop effective coping skills, and create lasting, meaningful change.

Outside the office, Kayli enjoys spending time at the racetrack, where she and her husband share a passion for motorsports and the racing community. She also loves traveling to sporting events, spending time with her two dogs and cat, and making memories with family and friends. These experiences have deepened her appreciation for perseverance, connection, and maintaining balance—values she brings into her work and hopes to help every client cultivate in their own lives.
