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 am a nurse practitioner with dual certifications in family practice and psychiatric mental health. My passion for holistic care drives my integrated approach, addressing both primary care and mental health to meet my patients' diverse needs. I provide care that considers the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of each individual. By blending evidence-based practices with empathetic listening, I empower patients to take an active role in their health journey and achieve optimal outcomes.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? When mental health symptoms begin affecting your work, relationships, sleep, or daily functioning, it can feel difficult to know where to turn. You don't have to face it alone.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 15 years of healthcare experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults throughout Washington. I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and other mental health conditions through personalized medication management and supportive therapy.

My approach is collaborative, holistic, and centered on your unique needs and goals. I take the time to understand your experiences, concerns, and strengths so we can develop a treatment plan that helps you feel more balanced, focused, and in control of your life. I believe healing begins when people feel heard, respected, and supported.

I currently offer convenient telehealth appointments and strive to provide a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you can feel comfortable discussing your concerns. Taking the first step toward better mental health can be challenging, but support is available. If you're ready to explore treatment options, I invite you to reach out to schedule a consultation.

I graduated from Northwestern University in 2021 with a Master of Arts in clinical mental health counseling. I've spent the last three years working in a group practice specializing in treating eating disorders, exploring identity, and working with the BIPOC community addressing cultural issues that show up in everyday life.

Anxiety, depression, ADHD and complex trauma are all too familiar to me- I feel so much joy when I am given the privilege to help others with their own, no matter where they are at in their process.

As a person who was late-in-life diagnosed A(u)DHD, I learned a lot of "bootcamp" social skills and navigation tools over the years to survive a harsh world not designed for people like me. I really excel in providing a validating space to join me, side by side, as we all learn how to ride this wild life.

I am a licensed counselor with a Masters in Counseling. My practice is rooted in extensive experience working with diverse populations. I offer a unique blend of evidence-based and creative approaches.I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Somatic interventions such as Expressive Arts.

I have over 15 years experience supporting people seeking to be their best selves. I work best with people that are looking to end self-defeating behaviors, adopt new ones and sustain them.
