Hi there, I'm Lakesha. Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? Let's work together to identify what's no longer serving you and discover the tools to help you find greater balance. I take a whole-person approach, recognizing that our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences are all connected. Together, we'll explore the patterns shaping your experiences while building practical skills through cognitive restructuring, emotion regulation, and mindfulness. Whether you're navigating overwhelm, relationship challenges, anxiety, or depression, you don't have to face it alone. I'll meet you with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based care, creating a space where you can better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and make meaningful, lasting change.
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.
My greatest strengths are building genuine rapport and creating a trusting, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe exploring life's greatest challenges. I recognize that our experiences don't happen in isolation, and I help clients understand themselves within the context of their relationships, families, and the broader systems that shape their lives.
My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers.

Helps clients reflect how on they think about and behave in relationships. They are able to improve their relationships and break unhelpful patterns.
Clients will learn how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact, and the value of changing their negative thinking patterns.
help clients—especially those who don’t identify with the dominant culture group—feel understood by their therapist, which often contributes to a stronger therapeutic alliance as they can discuss the client's experiences as they relate to the client’s background and belief system regarding their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or other important elements that make up someone’s culture and/or identity.
I provide trauma-informed care that recognizes how past experiences can shape the way we think, feel, relate, and respond to life's challenges. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels safe, building understanding, resilience, and lasting healing without judgment.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy helps you understand the different parts of yourself with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment. Together, we'll uncover the protective patterns that once helped you survive, allowing you to heal emotional wounds and reconnect with your most authentic, confident self.

Lakesha has been the best therapist I’ve had in my adult years. We are now in a stage where she can see what I’ve learned from her in action and I’m very proud of what I’ve been able to accomplish with Lakesha as my mental guide! Forever grateful for your insight, open mindedness, and for challenging me to believe that better is always available.

First session was very good. I had a lot of nerves but Lakesha was very patient and thorough. She asked questions and made me feel comfortable with answering them.
