Do you have changes that you want to make in your life?

I work closely with clients navigating adjustments in life, Pregnancy, Post partum, and pregnancy loss related issues. Self-esteem challenges, relational dysfunctions, and much more. Together, we will explore and create a path to new experiences that are achievable and fulfilling.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience as a therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals and groups navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My practice focuses on supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and the effects of trauma.

You've Been Strong for Everyone Else-Now It's Your Turn

For the past 18 years, I've worked with adults who are carrying more than most people around them know. If you're the one everyone leans on, the high-achiever who looks put-together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside, or someone who has been strong for so long you've forgotten what it feels like to just exhale, you're in the right place.

As a Black therapist, I bring both clinical training and lived understanding to this work. Whether you're navigating anxiety that won't quiet, grief that hasn't had space, a relationship that's draining you, or a life transition that has left you feeling stuck, you don't have to have it figured out before you begin.

Wherever you're starting from, meaningful support is available, and you deserve to be the one receiving it for a change.

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.

You don’t have to pretend you’re okay here.

You shouldn’t have to filter yourself in therapy. Maybe anxiety has become hard to manage. Maybe depression has left you feeling disconnected, unmotivated, or unlike yourself. Maybe trauma or painful life experiences are still affecting your relationships, emotions, or daily choices. Or maybe you’ve been carrying things for so long that you’re not even sure where to start.

I’m Kristopher, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, stress, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive, judgment-free space where you can be honest about what you’re feeling, better understand what has been weighing on you, and begin moving toward a healthier, more grounded version of yourself.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you have been carrying life’s challenges on your own. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or your child, I want you to know that you do not have to have everything figured out before walking through my door. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, sharing your story, and exploring your feelings without fear of judgment.

I work with children, youth, and adults, and I believe every person deserves to feel heard, valued, and understood. I approach therapy with compassion, patience, and an open heart, recognizing that everyone’s journey is different. I understand that healing takes time, and I strive to meet each client where they are while honoring their individual experiences, strengths, and goals.

My approach is holistic and client-centered. I incorporate evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques, to help clients develop healthy coping skills, build resilience, and navigate life’s challenges. Together, we explore practical strategies that support emotional wellness, personal growth, and healthier relationships.

I believe therapy is not about changing who you are or expecting perfection. It is about discovering your strengths, understanding yourself more deeply, and learning new ways to respond to life’s challenges. I value the connection we build throughout the therapeutic process and believe meaningful growth happens when you feel safe, supported, and empowered.

Most importantly, I want you to know that you do not have to walk this journey alone. I am here to listen, encourage, and work alongside you as you take steps toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, recognizing and celebrating progress along the way.
