Hello! My name is Talisha. I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC. I received my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and my Bachelor’s Degree in Public Health. 

 

I am a true believer that you are doing the best you can with the support and resources you have at your disposal. Additionally, I believe all clients I work with are resilient, know what is truly best for them, and are much stronger than they give themselves credit for. 

 

Life can be incredibly stressful! Sometimes it may feel like you’re not doing enough. And, we can all be our biggest critic at times. I look forward to serving as your ally to decrease stress, anxiety, and inner conflict by identifying strategies to discover your authentic self, set realistic expectations, and identify unhelpful thinking that can keep you in a loop of stress and worry. 

 

Because you know more about you than anyone else, I do not see myself as the expert of your life but someone who can serve a guide to help identify strategies to decrease stress, anxiety, inner conflict, and implement techniques to effectively communicate needs.

 

To serve my clients, I tend to use a variety of therapy models, depending on which ones work best for each client. Some of the therapy models I pull from include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I also incorporate mindfulness practices with clients. I enjoy working with adults dealing with symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict and life transitions.  

 

Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, reading, puzzling, listening to music, tending to my growing number of plant babies, and heading to the beach when I can.
