Hello. I am a highly experienced Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with years of dedicated practice in the mental health field. I hold a Masters Degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. I am actively licensed in North Carolina, and working on licensure in additional states. Throughout my career, I have worked in various clinical settings, including private practices, community mental health centers, and renowned healthcare institutions. I also possess a wealth of expertise in treating a broad range of psychological issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I practice from a client-centered and evidence-based approach, tailoring therapeutic interventions to meet the unique needs of each individual. I provide a client-focused, warm, and empathetic environment. Both in-person and virtually. This, combined with extensive clinical knowledge, has helped me earn a reputation as a trusted and effective therapist within the community.
In our first session together we will complete a clinical assessment and diagnosis. We will discuss ongoing issues as well as history of ongoing issues.
I have experience treating a myriad of challenges. To include depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, OCD, ADHD, Bipolar-Disorder, impulsiveness, oppositional defiance and behavioral issues, substance use, self-esteem issues, boundaries, infidelity, personality disorders, work-related stress/anxiety, and intellectual/developmental disabilities to name a few. The evidence-based practices, programs, and interventions I utilize are documented, peer-reviewed activities, strategies, and information; whose effectiveness is proven through empirical research and evaluation.
I have experience working with men, women, and children of all ages. My professional experience includes individual counseling, couples counseling, family counseling, and group counseling. I practice from an eclectic style with an emphasis on the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) modality. I am an action-oriented clinician who believes outcomes speak for themselves.

Fakira has been very open and listens fully to my concerns. She's able to ask questions to have me to come to a conclusion that best works for me. She challenges me mentally and emotionally and lets me know it is okay to open up and release past hurt and trauma. She does not allow me to make excuses for myself which allows me to stay stagnant in my growth. I am super happy with her, and I appreciate her so much.
