Meet Keisha

I work from a collaborative, client-centered lens, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches. We’ll move at your pace, focusing on your strengths and values while exploring what healing and growth look like for you. Our work is built around your story, not a one-size-fits-all model. I show up authentically and invite you to do the same—no pressure, no pretenses. Humor, real talk, and deep reflection are always welcome.
