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 believe in empowering people to take charge of their own present and future lives. Generally, when you seek therapy, you are overwhelmed and ready to change. I believe you have it within yourself to make sense of your life, focus on creating the life you desire, and feel in control. I use strength and solution-based, client -centered psychotherapy. I am nonjudgmental, compassionate, and have a sense of humor. Regardless of the weight of therapy, we will also laugh!

Welcome! Fourteen years in, this still moves me. ❤️ Let's see if any of this sounds familiar: You check the locks again on your way to bed. You reread the text nine times, send it, then apologize for sending it. You sit in the car in the driveway a minute longer than you need to. You are steady in the hospital hallway and you come apart in the cereal aisle. Your kid gets called defiant by adults who have never seen him tired. You know which friends stopped calling first. You have carried this well, and you have carried it alone, and both of those cost you something. This is for you. Children, teenagers, adults, people starting over at sixty-eight.
