I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC-S) with 10 years of counseling and training experience, licensed in Mississippi. I have experience helping adults, couples, and families, from diverse backgrounds and with a wide variety of problems. However, the focus of my work is behavioral health and co-occurring mental health concerns and substance use problems. I am trained in a myriad of evidenced based techniques and adapt my approach to fit the needs of the individual with whom I am working. My passion is helping a person attain their personal goals and improve their quality of life. I tend to integrate person centered approaches, motivational enhancement, cognitive behavioral treatment, acceptance and commitment treatment, mindfulness practices, and meditation to achieve a tailored set of interventions for achieving significant and sustainable change. I am skilled in helping with mood problems, anxiety , relationship concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, phase of life problems, vocational concerns, identity issues, and personality disorders. Together we may: 1) identify and challenge negative patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving; 2) learn to let go of shame, guilt, & anger associated with trauma or complicated grief; 3) replace old patterns with new patterns through developing healthy self-care practices; 4) cultivate a personal sense of purpose and connection to self and others. I strive to provide a safe and affirming environment for a person to explore and process their concerns.

One year and four months ago, I was lost and hopeless. I was in severe emotional distress. I felt like I was drowning and desperately reached for help.
Alayna caught my hand, got me back onto solid ground. Through my past and present she shone a new light: kind, compassionate and realistic.
Her therapeutic approach helped me a lot.
I wholeheartedly recommend her.

I've had a great experience with Alayna. It took a couple weeks for me to warm up to virtual counseling and the BetterHelp structure but once I did I've been finding it really beneficial. Alayna listens really well and helps convey thoughts that I have trouble understanding back to me in a concise and actionable way to allow me to reflect. She also listens to patterns of our conversations to help me understand some things I'm struggling with from a bigger picture. Alayna really let's you guide the sessions and supports you based on your expectations of the sessions.
