Hi, I’m Keisha.
I earned my bachelor’s degree from Montana State University and my master’s degree from the University of Washington before beginning my career as a school psychologist in public education.
Through my academic training, clinical work, and personal experiences, I developed a deep interest in the connection between mental health, nervous system regulation, chronic stress, and the ways people adapt to environments and life demands. The more I learned, the more I recognized how common it is for people to remain outwardly capable while internally feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, exhausted, or stuck in patterns that once helped them cope, succeed, or stay safe.
That understanding ultimately guided me toward private practice, where I now work with individuals 16+ navigating anxiety, burnout, neurodivergence, high-demand roles, relationships, and the invisible mental load of trying to hold everything together.
I believe effective therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship — one built on trust, safety, collaboration, and genuine human connection. My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in the belief that healing and growth involve both the mind and the body. We can’t separate our thoughts from our nervous systems, lived experiences, relationships, identities, or the environments we’ve moved through. Together, we’ll explore the patterns you’ve developed over time, where they came from, how they may have helped you at one point, and whether they’re still serving you now.
I integrate person-centered, trauma-informed, somatic, CBT/ACT, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based approaches. I value balancing insight with action to help you better understand yourself while also building practical, sustainable tools that fit your real life. The goal isn’t perfection or becoming a completely different person; it’s cultivating greater self-awareness, self-compassion, flexibility, and alignment so you can move through life with more clarity, intention, and ease.
