Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Ridgeland, MS

I am licensed with 20+ years. I have experience in helping clients with coping with a variety of issues. I am trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). Accelerated Resolutions Therapy (ART), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), the Gottman Method, and Dialectical and Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I have certifications in the areas of addictions, autism spectrum disorder, and advocacy for people who are lgbt+.

I have worked as a therapist since 2014 and really enjoy supporting people in exploring their identity, processing trauma, navigating life transitions, and parenting. I use several different therapy modalities, including EMDR and Brainspotting. Together we can find what works best for you.

My passion is helping you find your path and your peace. I have been a licensed clinical therapist for nearly ten years, and love what I do. I truly believe we are all just messy humans, doing the best we can every day. I look forward to meeting you!

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.

My passion is helping patients move from a place of despair to optimism.

My ability to help others comes from personal life experience, formal and informal education and the desire to help. I use researched based therapeutic methods to strengthen and empower you to be able to problem solve and face challenges independently.

I cannot tell you I am going to cure your mental health issues, but I am willing to work with you to reach a place of peace and calm.
