You made it here so you are one step closer to getting the help you deserve. Congratulations! I am a LCSW based out of Southern, Kentucky but originally from Middle Tennessee. I made my way to the beloved Commonwealth of Kentucky to complete my undergraduate degree, Applied Human Sciences with a focus on family and child studies, at Western Kentucky University (WKU). Go Tops! I liked WKU enough that I stuck around for another two years where I completed my Masters in Social Work. Unfortunately I was not granted a wand with my degree to make everyone's life magically better but I was granted the opportunity to help every client I serve. As your therapist I promise to respect, support, and collaborate with you to establish the best way to navigate through the trials and tribulations of life.
In our first session, I will praise you for coming to therapy. It is a huge step to make the first appointment. You are absolutely not broken and it is okay to not be okay. I begin all first time sessions by introducing myself and depending on how comfortable you feel, we will continue to your introduction and what brought you to therapy. By the end of the first session we will have an on going plan for your treatment.
As a provider, I provide a relaxing environment for my clients to feel comfortable discussing some of the most uncomfortable conversations.
In my years of practice I have worked with an array of populations from toddlers to older adults. I am currently only working with adults. I want every client I serve to be wholly themselves and eager to better themselves.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have utilized CBT since the beginning of my practice. I have found CBT to be one of the most effective techniques to assisting clients with various mental health challenges ranging from anxiety to PTSD. CBT is most beneficial when combined with other treatment methods.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I became certified in TF-CBT a year into practice due to the abundance of trauma based clients I served. TF-CBT is a treatment method that is targeted for emotional and behavioral difficulties associated with traumatic experience(s).

Alayna is so caring and wonderful to talk to. It’s like talking to my best friend when i have a Thearpy session. You forget that you’re actually doing Thearpy lol. She listens, is respectful, so open and genuine l!!! If you’re looking for a great therapist she’s the one!!!

Going to her was my first time as an adult going to therapy and I was NERVOUS. However, not even 10 minutes into our first session I knew this wouldn't be a problem. She listens without judgement to everything I say, she knows how to make light of any situation and make you feel comfortable talking to her. She validates your feelings. I get free therapy through my new job, but I refuse to go to a different platform and lose her as my therapist!

She really cares about her clients, this is more than a job to her. She is only a text message away 24/7, which I have never experienced with a therapist before. I deal with my issues with humor and Alayna understands and accepts that. She truly feels like a friend to me and not just a provider. Since joining grow, I have been through 4 psychiatrists, but only 1 therapist. I’m a picky person when it comes to my providers, but I have 0 complaints with her!
