Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. You deserve interventions tailored to your unique needs. I specialize in identifying and addressing trauma responses in a safe, supportive environment.

I'm particularly passionate about supporting survivors of domestic abuse - helping people reclaim their voices and feel empowered in their own story again.
Hi, I'm Jalyssa. I grew up in a home where people came to be heard. My father was a pastor, my mother a cosmetologist - two very different worlds, but both built on the same thing: trust. People sat in our living room and in my mother's chair and shared what they couldn't say anywhere else. I learned early what it means to hold space for someone without judgment. That foundation shaped everything - my 15 years teaching adolescents, my work in rehabilitation, and now my calling as a counselor. I know what it's like to need someone in your corner. And I know what becomes possible when you finally have one.

I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and recovery-related/substance abuse concerns.
You may appear high-functioning on the outside, yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained on the inside. You might struggle with self-doubt, relationship stress, boundaries, or navigating a life transition. You want relief from anxiety or low mood, clarity in your relationships, and tools that actually help you feel more in control. Ultimately, you’re seeking balance, understanding, and meaningful change; not just coping, but feeling more like yourself again.

Hi, I’m Lauren. Are you finding it hard to cope with life right now? Struggling to feel grounded or unsure of your next step? In a world that seems to grow more overwhelming by the day, it’s no wonder it can feel difficult to keep up or feel in control. Whether you're adjusting to a major life change, healing from a traumatic experience, or simply longing to feel “normal” or happy again, therapy can offer a supportive space to help you make sense of it all. You don’t have to navigate this alone—and yes, you can and will figure this out.

My counseling style is empathic, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that change is possible. I work with adults at different stages of life who may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling stuck and wanting something to change. Our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us influence how we experience our lives. The meaning we assign to events and experiences can shape our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and choices—sometimes without us even realizing it. As awareness grows, new possibilities for change can emerge.

I'm passionate about working with high-functioning women, especially Black women and our allies who are survivors of sexual trauma, domestic violence, as well as those seeking to cope with anxiety, depression, and everyday life challenges (the women who look like they have it all together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in the same relationship patterns underneath).
Across my two practices, I offer individual therapy, couples counseling, Walk & Talk Therapy, EMDR therapy intensives, and couples intensives for clients in North Carolina and multiple states. My approach is direct, insight-driven, and results-focused. We’re not just talking about your past; we’re actively helping you move differently in your present.

I have a background working with families impacted by trauma, domestic violence, divorce, and addiction.
I work with adults who experience a variety of symptoms or issues that keep them from the life they want to be living. I have seen therapy be the missing piece for many people who want to change their life for the better. Most clients want to better understand patterns that likely stem from trauma. Others are navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, or even questions about identity and purpose. Together we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin building practical tools that help people move forward with a greater sense of clarity, purpose, and direction.

I believe that the first important step to any relationship is trust. Establishing rapport with my patient is the first thing I focus on at the onset of treatment to ensure my patient is comfortable. Whatever the presenting problem is, we can work together through it if Trust has been established and protected. Only then can the healing process actually begin. After that, the rest is easy!

I work with a wide variety of clients from all over South Florida. You may be carrying anxiety that does not turn off, depression that has flattened your weeks, sleep that will not hold, or a trauma history you have never said out loud. Maybe you are facing a court date, an immigration filing, or a hearing that will decide what happens next — and you need both honest clinical care and an evaluator who knows how courts read a report. You deserve a clinician who has sat with crisis, with deployment, and with hard rooms, and who will treat you as a whole person while we do the work. What would feel different if it actually changed?

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
