Now accepting clients in person and virtually

Hello there, I'm Kenya, and I'm really excited to be here to support and serve you. I wear multiple hats - a spouse, a mom to a wonderful son, and a proud owner of an American Eskimo/Maltese furry friend. Home is my sanctuary, quite the opposite of my spouse, but my son and I share an unbreakable bond.

​

I have some guilty pleasures - Caramel Brûlée Lattes and pecan delights are my weakness. Comfort is my style, and you'll often find me in sweatpants, Crocs/Birkenstocks, and rocking a natural hairstyle. When it comes to music, my heart beats for the classics of the 80s and 90s.

​

Transparency is important to me, and I want you to know that I face struggles just like anyone else. Relationships, parenting, and my own emotions and trauma - they're all part of my journey too. That's why I firmly believe in therapy and, just like you, my therapist is one of my biggest support systems. Therapy is my go-to for healing and growth.

​

I have a background in education from the illustrious NC A&T State University and the University of South Carolina-Columbia. My journey into therapy wasn't initially about wanting to help people, but it evolved into a passion when I realized the joy of being a pillar of support for others as they navigate through life. Witnessing each person's unique path and walking alongside them as they discover their purpose brought me immense fulfillment.

​

My vision has grown to give me the freedom to be with you on your life's journey, providing guidance, support, and a judgment-free space. Making a difference in someone's life, even if it's through a smile or a release of tears, is what drives me every day.

​

To assist you on your journey, I will utilize various therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Written Exposure Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, drawing from my own lived experiences. However, you are always the expert in your life, and I will meet you exactly where you are.

Together, we will break down barriers and take those meaningful steps forward. Let's embark on this journey together, figuring things out, and embracing growth along the way. You don't have to face it alone - I'm here to walk with you.
