About me

Welcome! I am so glad that you have taken that brave first step to look for help. I hope that this will be the start of healing and finding solutions. No matter how you are feeling right now, I want you to know that you can conquer this. I believe that with the right tools and hard work that every person can move to a comfortable point of wellness. I would love to be the person to help you complete your work.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Central Texas area. I have spent the last 11 years helping a variety of different age groups work towards solutions utilizing my counseling degree. I have worked with children of all ages, teens, military populations, and couples. I love counseling or partnering (as I call it), to help others.

I utilize a variety of counseling methodologies which include motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, Narrative counseling, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Combining these different approaches has allowed me to make sure that each person is comfortably served while working with me. I am certified in trauma-informed practices and I am a nationally certified mental health first aid trainer.

I hope that you will take the next steps to work towards the process of feeling better. As your therapist I will partner with you to work through your emotions so that I can help you set goals that you can reach to create change in your life. This is your process and I am just a guide. If you are ready I am here to help direct your path to change.

I look forward to working with you!

Takiesha is a caring therapist. She checks-in on how you are doing. She's great at putting things into perspective, listening to your concerns and giving you exercises to help you.

Takiesha is great! Our sessions have been invaluable even when I just showed up, not having completed the assignment. Takiesha was able to meet me where I was and keep me moving toward my goals. This quality has served me well because I am meeting my goals…yayyyy!!! Kudos to Takiesha!

If this was a dating site then I would have taken my profile off already because I have found my match. I was a bit hesitant coming into therapy because I have done it before and I just don’t feel connected and understood or heard. With Takiesha I have never felt more comfortable sharing so truthfully with her. She made me feel safe and not judged for the things I say because I judge myself a lot. I felt not rushed as we discussed different things in our session. I was able to talk to her and she was so patient to hear me out. It’s only been 2 sessions but she has helped me work to understand myself more and thus helped me unknot some parts of the things I struggle with a lot. She told me about a method of stones in the garden to help me to always come back to take a look at some concrete things I have written down to empower my decision making skills when I may be at a time of weakness. I have used this method several times and it has been able to ground me. I’m a devout christian and counseling and prayer work hand in hand and I can see God Work in many ways through our sessions. I have already been spreading the word for my friends to try counseling with better help because it’s so easy and it has kickstart my new discovery of stronger, better self.
