Meet Keyaisha:

I'm Keyaisha. I enjoy long walks down the aisles of bookstores, being a brunch connoisseur, and traveling the globe. I am also really good and transforming the lives of others; I even made a career out of it.

I'm a firm believer that you are your greatest investment, and therapy is an investment. In my opinion, the most important part of therapy is the relationship we share, so that's my aim. If I can gain your trust then we can work together and get you to a healthy state. Perfection isn’t something I'll ever guarantee you but I can offer authenticity, empathy and a person who is rooting for you.

I want to warn you that this may get real uncomfortable at times. However, I urge you to lean into the uncomfortableness because that's where growth resides. In order to change, you have to grow. So I'll stretch you, I'll stir the pot and I'll provide you all the tools of reassurance and bring all your strengths to the surface to ensure that you're equipped to succeed. What are you waiting for? Let's get to work!
