LaKeisha has helped me significantly in my relationships, and particularly with my fiancé and joining a new family. She has helped me find the confidence and peace in being myself in all situations, setting healthy boundaries, protecting my own energy, and above all else leading with kindness and love. She is supportive, thoughtful, and caring, and she truly listens and understands me even when I feel like I'm not making much sense. She also has a fantastic sense of humor! I would recommend LaKeisha to any and everyone -- and I wish a lot of people I know could talk to her lol

The time I spend with her is priceless, and I always leave our sessions feeling optimistic.
