Hey There! You amazing human you. I'm excited that you are here. I'm LaKeysha (pronounced La like the music note :-) ). I am a proud Charlottean, Army Veteran, Dog Mom and Java Enthusiast. I earned both of my Bachelor and Master degrees in Social Worker from UNC Charlotte in 2015 and 2016. I've served my community as an advocate, program coordinator, volunteer, case manager, school based therapist, and social worker. I'm an overcomer. I've made it through abuse, burnout, divorce, and grief. I made it through with support from unexpected pioneers who reminded me to prioritize myself first. 

I'm so proud that you've made a decision to prioritize yourself too.  YOUR Mental Health is just as important as your physical health. Prioritizing yourself is not a selfish act. It's a self-care one. Self-care is more than pedicures, manicures, massages and bubble baths. It's hydrating with water. It's enjoying a walk or run in the sunshine. It's watching your favorite T.V show or listening to your power playlist. It's scheduling your annual health appointments. It's honoring yourself when you're hurt or need a break. It's putting your devices on Do Not Disturb. It's resting. It's Saying No!

As your therapist, I will create an empowering, safe, soft, unapologetic, inclusive and inviting space for you. I offer both virtual and in person sessions. I want to be your thought partner while exploring complicated emotions and thoughts, building self-awareness, prioritizing your needs, celebrating your wins, challenging yourself, and teaching you how to apply self-love first. I thrive in the areas of Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MCBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I work with individuals 18+ with concerns in areas of anxiety, depression, family conflict, stress related concerns, and an open loving invitation to those within the LGBTQIA+ communities.
