Welcome!

My name is Jelisha (pronounced like Alicia with a “J”).

Firstly, I want to applaud you for taking action & seeking support to improve your relationship.

I hope that your search ends here as I know how difficult & vulnerable it can be to find a good couples therapist match that you vibe with. I’ve been on both sides of the couch so I really get it.

As a black couples therapist, I help black couples & couples of color improve their communication skills & move forward from past pains.

I am intentional about creating a non-judgmental warm safe space for black and brown couples to heal relationship wounds and rebuild trust with each other.

I am a licensed marriage family therapist who offers couples therapy & I am credentialed as a Prepare/Enrich Facilitator that offers premarital counseling.

Signs that we are a good fit to work together:

You’re sick of having the same circular fight over & over.
You feel like your partner isn’t listening to you despite you trying different approaches.
You often feel taken for granted and not appreciated. Perhaps you feel like everything falls on you. You may feel “single” although you are in a partnership.
You worry that you’ll never be able to trust each other again. You fear that a past painful event or betrayal will loom over your relationship forever. You’ve tried to move past it but it keeps coming up.
You’re engaged and want to ensure that you have a solid foundation before getting married. You are committed to learning about & preventing the common relationship pitfalls that often lead to divorce. You want to break generational patterns of trauma in your family.
