Hello! I'm Tomeka, a licensed professional counselor & certified rehabilitation counselor with over 8 years of dedicated experience serving individuals in Alabama. My practice focuses on providing affirming, culturally sensitive therapy and advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community and people with disabilities. I received my master's from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I believe in a client-centered, strengths-based approach that empowers individuals to navigate life's challenges-whether related to identity, mental health, disability adjustment, or societal barriers. My background includes trauma-informed care, career counseling for people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+-affirming therapy to support clients in living authentically and confidently.
Whether you are seeking support for mental wellness, navigating disability-related challenges, or exploring gender and sexual identity in a safe space, I am here to walk alongside you with compassion and expertise. Let's work together to build resilience, foster self-acceptance, and create meaningful change.
I have a deep cultural humility & awareness. I am an advocate for clients facing discrimination and undue hardship. I am familiar with LGBTQ+ terminology and supportive of medical/social transition. I celebrate small wins to build confidence and motivation. I highlight client autonomy.

You can reach your goals with the right mix of support and encouragement. I am here to help you get there.
