About Me

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 20 years of counseling in various settings. I have worked with troubled teens and their parents, individuals, families and couples. Although, I have been counseling professionally since my undergrad in 1990, I started counseling from the kindergarten playground, always desiring to assist with finding solutions to life's woes. Some of the areas of concern that I have addressed include depression, HIV/AIDS, adolescent concerns, anger, anxiety, family conflict, loss, blended families and many other areas of concern that affect families.

My counseling style is very welcoming and interactive. I believe in empowering the client and not making them feel judged. I remind myself that when working with a client I may be the only person in their life capable of both hearing and holding their pain, I don't take that for granted.

I look forward to working with you!

LaTravia is attentive to my needs. She is interactive and helps me see things in other perspectives. She is kind, compassionate, and loves her job. I am so happy to have connected with her. She provides me with different options and insights on topics we discuss. I look forward to many more sessions with her. She is amazing to simply put it. Thank you!

I owe so much of my healing to her insights. She is thorough, patient, and meets you where are you at with no judgment and a little bit of humor. She goes above and beyond every time, and create a safe space four me to share and unburden myself. I am very lucky to have found such an excellent counselor in her
