I'm creative, I can be direct, and I encourage the client in finding the solution to their problem. I offer a nonjudgmental environment allowing you to express your thoughts and feelings freely. I help individuals who are stuck in life get to a better state in life. Collaboratively we will work together, as I provide a safe, trusting, confidential, and therapeutic environment allowing you to be the expert of your life as I act as a guide in helping you to reach your full potential.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I will also gather and review background history. We will design a treatment on how we can work together to help you reach your goals and find happiness.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love to work with motivated individuals and families that want to make change happen. I love honest clients that loves honesty in return. My clients set goals that they are willing and wanting to achieve. My clients often feel stuck, anxious, misguided, and overwhelmed with their lives and is looking for some guidance. My clients are ready to embrace change, want to improve their situations, and want to accomplish their goals. People who are broken and looking to mend their situations back together are the clients I look to help.

Tanesha challenges me to be the best version of myself. She has helped me get through tremendous grief and is always solution focused. Tanesha has empowered me , I've even gone back to school . She's extremely empathetic and very honest and nonjudgmental. I would recommend her to anyone looking to heal and grow.
