Welcome. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am here to step into the emotional trenches of life with you. My goal is to lean in and help you uncover your strengths, identify your needs, and grow in your relationships. I have experience in both school and private practice settings and specialize in attachment, parenting struggles, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and relationship concerns. I believe hard seasons are easier to navigate when you have steady, compassionate support.

Kayla, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health, recognized the profound disparities in access to mental health care within BIPOC communities. Inspired by a vision of creating a space where healing is both inclusive and affordable, she founded Helen’s Project with the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of their background or financial situation.​​Helen’s Project operates on the principle that culturally competent and empathetic mental health care is essential for holistic well-being. The organization collaborates with a diverse team of mental health professionals who not only possess clinical expertise but also understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges faced by the BIPOC community.

I help people who understand their struggles intellectually but still cannot seem to change how they feel, react, or relate to others. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Clinical Hypnotherapist with more than 10 years of experience, I specialize in trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, grief, and painful relationship patterns. My advanced training includes EMDR, clinical hypnotherapy, somatic approaches, EFT tapping, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

You might be feeling exhausted from holding everything together, anxious about the future, or stuck in patterns that no longer fit who you are. I work primarily with women and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and trauma that can be hard to put into words. Many of my clients are new to therapy or haven’t always felt culturally safe or understood in past spaces. With me, you don’t have to shrink yourself or explain your whole identity just to be believed. Together, we’ll work toward you feeling more grounded, more confident, and more like yourself again.

Seeking help takes courage, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and respected without judgment. I believe that every person's story is unique, and mental health care should reflect that. My goal is to build a collaborative relationship where we work together to understand your concerns, identify your strengths, and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your values and goals.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide evidence-based medication management while taking the time to understand the whole person, not just symptoms.
