Therapist

If you're struggling with addiction, carrying the weight of complex trauma, or trying to cope while managing a chronic health condition, I want you to know there's a way forward — and you don't have to walk it alone. I'm a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC) with over 16 years of experience across private practice, residential substance abuse treatment, medical social work, and the non-profit world. I've sat with people in their hardest, most overwhelming moments, and I bring that same steady, non-judgmental presence to every session.


Much of my work centers on substance use and recovery, complex trauma, and the emotional toll of chronic medical conditions. Whether you're in the thick of a crisis or finally ready to address something you've carried for years, I'll meet you exactly where you are — with compassion, real tools, and zero judgment.

Therapist

Hi, I'm Makeda (Kee)! I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you want to change, struggling in your relationships, or simply looking for a better way forward, therapy can give you the space to understand what's going on and figure out what comes next.

With 7 years of experience, I bring a warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative approach to therapy. We'll look at what's contributing to the challenges you're facing, build on the strengths you already have, and develop practical ways to help you feel more confident, emotionally balanced, and connected to the life you want. My goal is for therapy to feel supportive and genuine while still helping you create meaningful change.

Welcome. Seeking therapy is a meaningful step, and I believe you deserve a space where you can feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people have the capacity to heal, grow, and build lives that feel more manageable and fulfilling.

My professional background includes work with individuals facing acute stress, life transitions, loss, emotional overwhelm, relationship concerns, and the effects of demanding work or caregiving roles. I work with adults who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, grief and bereavement, adjustment challenges, trauma-related stress, low self-esteem, or difficulty managing major changes in their lives. I am especially passionate about supporting people in high-stress helping professions, including healthcare workers, first responders, educators, caregivers, and behavioral health professionals. I would be honored to support you on that journey.
