Meet Your Next Therapist Kaela

I believe women deserve to take up space without apology

I work with high-achieving women of color who look successful on the outside but feel anxious, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Together, we unpack core beliefs, cultural conditioning, and lived experiences that have taught you to shrink, over perform, or put yourself last.

My work focuses on helping you understand the roots of your anxiety… not just manage the symptoms. So you can stop living on autopilot and start living in alignment with who you actually are.

In therapy, we work on setting boundaries without guilt, prioritizing yourself without fear, and building a relationship with yourself that feels honest, confident, and secure.

You don’t need to become someone new. You get to come home to yourself.

What People Are Saying:

  • I can’t recommend Kaela enough for her work with WOC who are looking to step into their power. She integrates her own lived experience with strong clinical skills and cultural awareness. Kaela is authentic, empowering, and truly an inspiration to women who are ready to break the stigma and reach their highest potential.

    —Donnie Newman, LMHC

  • Working with Kaela was a transformative experience for me. As a high-achieving female, I often felt overwhelmed by expectations and self-doubt, but she helped me gain clarity, confidence, and balance. She listened without judgment and offered guidance that was both compassionate and practical. I always felt seen and supported, and I’m in a much healthier, more grounded place because of her. I can’t recommend Kaela enough!

    —Former Client

  • Kaela is a go to referral source for WOC struggling to manage cultural expectations while simultaneously working toward personal fulfillment and balancing rest/recovery. She is insightful, real + deeply intuitive.

    —Irene Koutsidis-Martelli LCSW

  • I had an incredibly positive and meaningful experience with Kaela. From the very beginning, she created a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where I felt truly seen and comfortable opening up. She listens with genuine care, asks thoughtful questions, and gently helps shift perspectives in ways that feel empowering rather than overwhelming. I am deeply grateful for the progress I’ve been able to make with her support and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking empathetic, insightful, and truly caring therapy.
