I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Social Work and I was selected to participate in the Student Government Association, The Trauma Education Connection, and Title IV-E Program. I received additional expertise in trauma informed practice.

Hi! I am a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of clinical experience. Though I consider myself a generalist having worked in multiple settings with a range of issues, my niches include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and eating and body image concerns. These are issues I have personal experience with, and the tools I offer are ones I practice myself.

I am passionate about helping people reduce burnout, and develop a flexible relationship with food and the body, based on hunger, your schedule, accessibility to food and your feelings. The body changes based on age, injury, activity level and other things, and I understand that it can be hard to be kind to ourselves, given the culture we live in.

I aim to be non-judgmental, upfront, and supportive.

I specialize in helping clients manage trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and substance use disorders, including co‐occurring conditions. I also welcome clients who wish to integrate their Christian faith and spirituality into therapy, as I believe healing involves the mind, body, and spirit.

Hello,

My name is Keisha and I specialize in treating various issues. I appreciate the opportunity to provide my services to you. I create a safe space for my clients, free of judgement and full of understanding.

My style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and genuine. I work with clients who may look like they have it together on the outside while privately struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationships, or feeling stuck. I especially enjoy working with clients navigating relationships, dating, breakups, family dynamics, identity, confidence, and major life transitions. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, trust your own voice, and create meaningful change in your relationships and in your life.

Many of the adults I work with are deeply thoughtful and self-aware. You may understand your story, your patterns, and even the roots of your pain; yet still feel disconnected, stuck, or unable to feel the relief you’re longing for. Knowing isn’t always the same as feeling, and that gap can be incredibly frustrating. My work centers on helping you reconnect with your inner world and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself. I support clients who carry the impact of childhood trauma, relational wounds, grief, and loss, as well as those who feel disconnected from their bodies or emotions.

Therapy with me is paced, relational, and grounded in somatic and trauma-informed care, allowing space for all parts of you to be seen and tended. I have extensive experience supporting adults who have survived childhood abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault, and I specialize in grief counseling for those navigating the complexities of loss. I also offer equine-assisted psychotherapy in Central Florida. This experiential approach is so meaningful for those who struggle to access their emotions through words alone. If something in you feels ready to be met with care and curiosity, I would be honored to walk alongside you toward more ease and connection.
