Hi, I’m Kayla — a trauma-informed advocate, educator, and the founder of Clear Path Consulting. I created this space to help individuals, families, and front-line professionals navigate complex legal, emotional, and care systems with clarity, confidence, and compassion.

My work is rooted in both lived experience and ongoing professional training in trauma, child protection, and legal system navigation. I specialize in child sexual abuse prevention education, survivor-centered advocacy, and community support for caregivers facing overwhelming circumstances.

Whether I’m leading a workshop, offering case consulting, or building resources for parents and educators, my goal is always the same: to create safer systems and more empowered responses — one person, one story, and one step at a time.

This isn’t just work for me. It’s purpose.

Qualifications & Training

My approach is grounded in both lived experience and formal training, allowing me to walk alongside survivors, families, and professionals with both empathy and structure. I am continuously engaged in learning to ensure that the support I offer is ethical, informed, and impactful.
