A Message from Keneesha

Relationships are at the core of human experience. Emotions are intended to bring us closer together, but our life experiences can sometimes lead us to withdraw from others when we need them the most, making it challenging to trust and depend on others—and even ourselves. This sense of loneliness and disconnection can lead to a range of emotional and physical issues, reinforcing the belief that we must face life's difficulties alone.

I work with individuals and couples to build strong and collaborative therapeutic relationships to identify and overcome barriers that hinder emotional well-being. By increasing tolerance for difficult emotions and addressing feelings of isolation and self-doubt, we will work together to strengthen both your relationships with others and your relationship with yourself helping you to express your needs and connect more deeply with those around you. This process fosters emotionally accessible, responsive, and engaged relationships, deepening your sense of true connection and belonging.
