Hello! I am glad you found your way here and I have the opportunity to introduce myself. I am a trauma-trained Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor with more than 16 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan. My professional background includes extensive work with trauma survivors, as well as children, adolescents, and adults navigating mental health concerns and life transitions. If you are visiting this page, please know that you do not have to face these challenges alone. Take the next step in your self-care journey and reach out by phone or email to learn more about how we can work together.


I believe it is important for clients to find a counselor that fits their personality. I combine effective research based approaches with a warm, friendly, southern personality. There is almost always laughter somewhere in my sessions, even on the tough days. Client's should leave counseling sessions with a feeling of being lighter, understood, and valued.


Life is hard and we all face challenges that can feel too big to handle on our own. Luckily you don't have to walk through these challenges alone.

Hi there! I'm glad you found your way here.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just plain exhausted, you are not alone. A lot of the

people I work with describe a similar experience: on the surface, life looks manageable, but

internally, it is a different story. Thoughts that won't quiet down, energy that's hard to find, or

stress from past experiences that never quite resolved themselves.

You don't have to keep carrying that on your own.

I work with patients navigating a wide range of mental challenges, from anxiety, ADHD,

depression, and mood disorders to trauma, life transitions, burnout, and beyond. My goal is

straightforward: to help you feel more like yourself again, and more in control of your day-to-day life.

*SUPPORTING CLIENTS AGES 18+

Sis, I get it. "Life be lifing", and sometimes you need a space where you don’t have to explain why you're tired, guarded, or feeling everything all at once. I’m not here to fix you, I’m here to walk with you, help you unpack the heavy stuff, and remind you of the strength you already carry. Therapy with me feels like a real convo, with honesty, laughter, maybe a few tears, and definitely no judgment. I hold space for women who carry a lot but rarely feel seen.

Here’s a little bit more about me: I’m a wife and a proud mom in a beautifully blended family of five. When I’m not in therapist mode, you’ll probably find me spending time with my people, trying out a new restaurant (total foodie over here!), binge-watching whatever’s trending on Netflix, or indulging in some well-deserved self-care. I believe in pouring from a full cup, and I’m passionate about helping you do the same.

If therapy were easy, everyone would already be doing it. I work best with people who want a direct therapist, not just a sounding board. I believe that healing comes from doing the work. Real, lasting change demands full commitment—a willingness to show up daily to become the best version of ourselves.

With 24 years of experience as an LPC, my professional background spans leadership, clinical practice, and mentorship. Throughout my career, I have learned that people value connection - whether it’s through shared goals, emotions, or by being seen and heard. I work alongside adults and teens (16+) facing addiction, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, and parenting or teen struggles. Supporting military service members and veterans is also an important part of my work.

Recognizing the need for growth and change can feel intimidating, but taking that first step toward therapy shows courage and a willingness to invest in yourself. I create a warm, supportive space where clients can safely explore past and present experiences. Together, we work to understand patterns, emotions, and challenges that may be holding you back. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we move at your pace while building insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Hi! My name is Keyonda Dean, but my friends call me Keyandra. I'm really glad you're here. You may have been feeling low, unmotivated, or disconnected for a while now. Maybe you have lost interest in things that used to matter, or you wake up already exhausted. Perhaps you have been running on empty for so long that it's starting to feel normal. Some days, it's hard to explain what is wrong, but you are still showing up, still getting through your to-do list. But something feels off. It's not just "stress," and you aren't being dramatic. What you are feeling is real, and you deserve support that actually helps. I work with patients across a wide range of mental health experiences - whether you are dealing with anxiety and depression, mood disorder, ADHD, or navigating something that feels new and hard to name
