I feel like therapy chose me, not the other way around. My career started in community mental health, where I worked with low-income adults struggling with severe mental and emotional problems. My passion for helping those who are hurting and broken has kept me in this profession. I have trained and taught countless new therapists to love the profession and serve with excellence. Having been in the field for 18 years, I remain committed to eliminating the stigma that prevents so many from getting the mental health care they need by walking alongside those who are hurting.

Hello, my name is Letitia, and I would like to welcome and acknowledge you for taking this step. Just like the waves in the ocean, life often presents us with its ups and downs. Those ups and downs show up in people’s lives differently and can become too challenging to manage. Seeking help is not always easy, and for many it can be a scary, uncomfortable, and unfamiliar thing to do, and that is okay.
