I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Sex Therapist with over 11 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with honesty, humor, and compassion. I’ve dedicated my career to supporting diverse populations, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community and clients managing co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be your most authentic self while working toward healing, growth, and connection. My work focuses on helping clients identify the root causes of their challenges and develop practical, personalized strategies for change. I specialize in areas such as relationship issues, infidelity recovery, pre- and post-marital counseling, life transitions, imposter syndrome, financial and career stress, dating challenges, and sexual health and intimacy concerns. Whether you’re navigating a crisis, exploring your identity, or striving to strengthen your relationships, I will meet you with empathy, structure, and actionable tools to help you move forward. My approach is direct, solution-focused, and infused with warmth and humor. I believe therapy should feel real, not clinical—it’s a collaborative process designed to help you understand yourself, improve communication, and build emotional balance. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), integrating mindfulness and trauma-informed care to support long-term growth. Ultimately, my mission is to help you rediscover your authentic self, improve your relationship with others, and create a life filled with clarity, confidence, and purpose. You don’t need to have it all figured out—just a willingness to start. Together, we’ll turn that first step into meaningful, lasting change.

Welcome, I am Feven! 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? I help individuals manage anxiety, depression and burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach; addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the different challenges they face and build coping skills to create more fulfilling and holistic life experiences. From my journey, I can personally attest to the power of support, in its many forms. This support goes beyond clients I service but also to their families and communities. I believe that mental wellness isn’t just individualistic; but includes the ecosystem surrounding the person. My praxis acknowledges and aims to support the village needed by all.  I’m also passionate about the transformative impact of safe and brave spaces for those who often experience exclusion. My career has afforded me opportunities to build trust with LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, Latina/o/x, and Refugee communities across the nation. It is a personal privilege to center wellness and holistic care for all as ‘self-care is a radical form of resistance.’ Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, trauma, PTSD, self-acceptance, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion, empathy and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

You will learn effective communication skills that work to deliver your message to others with no room for misunderstand. Moreover, by understanding yourself and gaining insight, you will be able to take the control over your life. You have the choice to change the direction of the course of your life.

Hey Hey! I'm Kanesha! Are you ready to evolve into the best version of yourself? Then I am the person you are looking for! I empower teenagers and young adults to dive into what is keeping them from becoming their best selves in every area of life. I encourage everyone to find the root of their struggles to grow. I am big on self-care, healthy communication, and healthy boundaries. I love to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-centered therapy to explore how your way of thinking influences your feelings, and how your feelings influence your actions. We will explore practical self-help strategies to improve your quality of life.

Over the last 8 years of working as a therapist, I've seen and experiencing everything. From children struggling in the schools, to woman struggling with everyday life problems, I've realized one thing that they have in common-hope. Hope is important when coming to therapy. You are hoping to feel better; you are hoping to come to become a new person. I want us to work on how we treat ourselves allows others to treat us in the same way. My goal as a therapist is to help you help yourself. As a Reality therapist, I focus on your current relationships and conflicts. This type of therapy doesn't really focus on the past unless it is trying to connect some sort of pattern of behavior. As a reality therapist, I see behaviors as choices and learning how to change those behaviors to have a better outcome so that one can FEEL real love for themselves and others! All the reality therapist I know are very honest, direct, and focus on you taking accountability for your actions. I pray for all of my clients for their love, joy, peace, be restored during this process of healing themselves. I am a faith-based therapist who believes GOD and therapy is important and using verses and stories from the Bible provide symbolism and revelation in the areas of anger, anxiety, depression, and more.
