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.
Additional areas of focus:LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, ADHD

Alayna and I established a rapport almost immediately. I found her very easy to open up to early on which is sort of a different from some past experiences in therapy for me. She’s a great listener, a skilled clinician, and has a wide range of therapeutic tools in her arsenal. She’s really a great fit for me and I’d highly recommend her.

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 worked with a few different therapists throughout my life, and Alayna is by far my favorite. She’s kind, respectful, an amazing listener, and makes it feel effortless to open up. I’ve noticed more progress in a couple sessions with her than I did in months of therapy with other counselors. I’m so happy I found her!

Alayna is easy to talk to and makes me feel comfortable. My first thought on online therapy was that it wouldn’t work but she makes me feel understood, important and she very much does not make me feel judged. I would recommend her to everyone I know.

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.
