One of the key reasons I've made the progress that I have. With her support I've overcome a life implosion, dealt with deep childhood trauma and regained my confidence and sense of self. In a word: indispensable.

I am a firm believer that we are put here on earth to help one another grow, change with the ultimate objective to live a more fulfilled life and love each other more. The challenge is always the peaks and valleys of life that bring for some us severe emotional pain. I have had the privilege and honor to be professionally trained in a wide variety of therapeutic modality’s to move clients towards better mental health. I do believe that there is not one way to get mentally healthy but rather a combination of personal choice and a new approach to life’s challenges that creates permanent change.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist my main focus will the systems within your life that are not working or functioning correctly and changing them. My primary approaches are Narrative Family Therapy, CBT/DBT and Solution Focused Therapy but feel confident in using any data driven approach that works for my client.
I have shown success in working with patients who struggle with:
Grief/Loss
Narcissistic Abuse
Trauma/Abuse
Depression/Anxiety/Stress
Blended Family Issues
Parenting for Children with Disabilities
Marriage Counseling
I think you will find my approach warm, lighthearted, inviting and non threatening. I am knowledgeable and serious about moving you towards a more fulfilling life with hopes you gain new life skills, emotional stability. I encourage my clients to have with patience with themselves and the healing process. Learned dysfunctional patters and non productive behavior responses are often embedded by our families during childhood and will take time to unlearn. I am up for the challenge if you are.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

One of the key reasons I've made the progress that I have. With her support I've overcome a life implosion, dealt with deep childhood trauma and regained my confidence and sense of self. In a word: indispensable.
What a wonderful and astute professional! Ayanna is supportive, a great listener, and has challenged me in ways that have helped me improve and grow. She is never condescending or talking down to me and I appreciate her insight. I can't say enough about how wonderful it is to just talk it out with her! Thanks, Ayanna!

Ayanna has helped me to see my strengths and how to use them to better develop my whole self. Particularly the overlooked parts of my self and how my actions impacts others. I truly feel better after each session!
Mrs. Jarrett is a phenomenal therapist that is fully invested in her clients needs and concerns. I love the client experience and will continue to Excell higher in my mental health healing journey.
Ayanna doesn’t just listen, she allows me to find the right way out of my negative spiral by pointing out the tools and mindset necessary to come back to the moment and be there totally.
Ayanna is a wonderful person and a gifted therapist. She is open , honest and deeply caring. She has a way of making breaking down big problems into bite sized pieces. She has been a blessing to me.
Ayanna has been a tremendous help to me these past several months. She understands my concerns and listens attentively. She provides real solutions to issues I thought no one could understand . I am elated that I matched with her and can’t thank her enough!
Thank you for your help. You are someone who I trust. You've kept me in the game. Without your help I'm sure I would have been divorced. Thank you thank you thank you
Ayanna is more than just a voice on the line for me. She is an incredible listener, and that has meant a lot to me. Particularly because it has been hard to find support for better well-being in English, here in Japan. Our near weekly chats is something I look forward to because it keeps me on track with what I value in my life when all the world seems to be presenting me with new chaos daily. Ok, it's never really that bad. Or perhaps it just feels that way because we can talk and laugh about the important things in such a way that fills me with hope eternal for better days.
Ayanna is a great listener who has a world of experience which has helped me tremendously.
I was very nervous and hesitant to talk to someone. I thought I would just be called crazy or my core issues overlooked. To my surprise, Ayanna was exactly what I needed. Specifically, her knowledge and insight on Narcissism. This is a very rare thing to find (in my experience) so having someone actually understand me, was so comforting. She instantly made me feel welcomed and that she infact, does care. You can feel her warmth and compassion. I'm so happy I found her.
Aryanna is a very kind and smart lady. She has helped me a lot and I’m so glad I found her through BetterHelp.
I started to seek help when I was really struggling with aspects from my personal and work life. That I joined Betterhelp. Ayanna has been not only someone I confide in, but have complete trust in which has really helped me open up without feeling judged and feeling supported to try and make me a better me.
She has removed apprehension and negative stigmas I felt about seeing a counselor. I look forward to our sessions
Ayanna is an excellent listener and communicator. She has a gift for succintly putting into words what I am feeling. She is a credit to her profession.
A great counsellor, who I trust completely to support me with managing my mental health. She helped me to pull myself out of rock bottom this summer and when I had to pause counselling, gave me the tools I needed to go about things on my own. She appreciates me as an individual. Understands the nuances and challenges of my experiences. Is affirming when necessary and challenging when needed. Follows the direction I want to take in discussions, so I can focus on the points that are key to me. But also checks me and calls me on stuff, if she feels I'm going on a tangent to avoid an important issue, that I should be addressing.
I've been to counseling prior to Better Help and honestly I've never experienced the type of relief that im receiving from Ayanna. She is outspoken straight up and very professional. I enjoy
Ayanna is the truth! She is compassionate and real. I couldn’t have asked for a better counselor
Outstanding mental health professional!! Ayanna possess a skillful means to help clients gain knowledge and skills to progress toward a healthier state of mind. Her holistic approach to healing is extremely powerful. Very knowledgeable about children and families. I highly recommend her!!
Amazing counsellor, I feel as though I get the right balance of free space to discuss my feelings and thoughts but also guidance and knowledge to help me get there. So gentle in her communication, I never felt pressured to talk it’s always when I’m comfortable. She’s helped me confront a lot of things with simple worksheets and Learning new ways to understand things in my head that I couldn’t necessarily articulate.
Ayanna has been helping me with a variety of issues. I could not recommended her highly enough.
