LCSW, 3 years of experience
Hi, I’m Kenisha! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I’m passionate about walking alongside people as they navigate life’s ups and downs. I use a warm, supportive approach that blends practical tools with genuine care, helping you manage stress, work through challenges, and build healthier patterns of thinking and coping. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel understood and empowered to make the changes you want for your life.
In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about your goals, current challenges, and any questions or concerns you may have about the process. I’ll share how I work as a therapist, and together we’ll begin creating a plan that feels comfortable and realistic for you. This session is a safe space—there’s no pressure to share everything at once. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the steps we’ll take together.
My greatest strengths as a therapist are my ability to create a warm, nonjudgmental space and to truly listen to my clients’ stories. I’m skilled at helping people break challenges down into manageable steps while offering both empathy and practical tools they can use in everyday life. Clients often share that they feel understood, supported, and empowered after our sessions, which reflects my commitment to blending compassion with evidence-based approaches like CBT to foster real and lasting change.
My ideal client is someone who may feel overwhelmed by the weight of daily responsibilities, stress, or unexpected life changes, but is ready to take steps toward healing and growth. I work best with individuals who want a supportive, down-to-earth therapist to help them build practical coping skills, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and find healthier ways to manage life’s ups and downs. Whether you’re a parent balancing multiple roles, a young adult navigating transitions, or someone seeking relief from anxiety or stress, I provide a safe, encouraging space where you can feel understood and empowered.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have extensive experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in addressing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral challenges. My approach emphasizes helping clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build practical skills to manage daily stressors. I integrate CBT techniques into both individual and group sessions, tailoring interventions to each client’s unique needs and goals. Through this evidence-based approach, I have helped clients achieve measurable progress, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall functioning.
