A passionate advocate for mental health, Lakeya is dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health care and promoting emotional and psychological well-being. She is an active member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and believes deeply in giving back to her community.

Lakeya’s faith is a central part of her life. Lakeya enjoys spending time with friends and family, watching movies, and having fun. However, her greatest passion remains worship and prayer, which continue to be a source of strength and joy in her life.

Lakeya believes therapy is a journey—one where she walks alongside her clients through the complexities of life. Her therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients understand how our thoughts drive our actions, rather than focusing solely on what we do. By addressing the thought patterns that influence behavior, Lakeya empowers her clients to make lasting changes and gain a deeper understanding of themselves.

She is dedicated to providing a transformative experience for each client facing challenges such as trauma, addiction, anxiety, abuse, depression, PTSD, marital issues, and family difficulties. Passionate about promoting self-love, her ultimate goal is to help break the stigma surrounding mental health and foster holistic healing.
