Latoya,
LPCC-S (OHIO),Supervisor
LMHC (WASHINGTON STATE)
I believe that each of us have been created to live life on purpose, with purpose, and with meaning. Wellness means giving attention to ourselves physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. During the most difficult times in our lives, we can find deficits in our wellness – in any of the above areas. When we are impaired, our functioning is also impaired. As a counselor, my mission is to work with adults, couples, families, and children during the most difficult times in their lives. I am dedicated to empowering you and your loved ones to find “wholeness.”
My goal is for my clients to live the life they want to live, and I want to empower you to create lasting, positive change within your life. My therapeutic process helps clients understand how to use your own agency to move toward whole-hearted living. Together, we will create strategies for coping and relating to others so you can thrive.
I understand the therapeutic process can seem overwhelming, so I am committed to meeting my clients where they are and building a foundation of genuine trust and respect. Wherever you are in your journey, I want to partner with you to take you to the next level.
