Hi, I’m LaKeysha—licensed therapist, Army vet, proud Charlottean, dog mom, and someone who’s had to learn (the hard way) what it means to take up space in a world that tells you to shrink. I’m a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and specializes in working with LGBTQIA+ clients.

Before I became a therapist, I was the person people came to for support—at work, at home, in my community. I was strong, dependable, high-functioning—and silently falling apart. Like so many of my clients, I’ve navigated trauma, burnout, grief, and identity shifts that cracked me open in ways I never saw coming. What saved me wasn’t powering through—it was learning to pause, reach out, and choose myself.

That’s what I offer in therapy: a space where you don’t have to keep performing strength. A space where you can be tired, unsure, angry, hopeful, overwhelmed, or numb—and still be held with compassion.

I work with adults who’ve been carrying too much for too long. People who are showing up for everyone else while feeling like there’s no room left for themselves. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety that won’t turn off, family dynamics that drain you, or stress that keeps piling up—I’m here to help you come back to yourself.

My approach is warm, real, and collaborative. We’ll untangle what’s heavy, challenge what’s outdated, and build tools that support the version of you who’s ready to feel more grounded, more empowered, and more like yourself again.
