I’m Lakesha, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Windsor, Connecticut. I’m committed to supporting people from diverse backgrounds and bring more than two decades of experience working with youth, adults, and families in a range of treatment settings.

I’m passionate about helping people break patterns that leave them feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure of what’s possible. Many of the people I work with are navigating transitions or unfamiliar phases of life—such as starting college or a career, becoming a parent, navigating marriage or divorce, launching into adulthood, living independently, co-parenting, adjusting to multigenerational living, grieving a loss, or discovering more about themselves.

With compassion and understanding, I help clients make sense of the anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, lack of motivation, and fear that can arise during times of change. I meet each person where they are and make space for their experiences without judgment.

My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and systemic therapy. CBT can help us recognize how thought patterns, learned behaviors, and coping strategies affect well-being. Systemic therapy explores how relationships, behavior patterns, life choices, and past and present experiences connect to the challenges you’re facing.

In therapy, I hope to help you build insight and self-awareness, understand where patterns may have come from, and develop new skills that support healing and growth. I strive to create a warm, respectful space where you feel heard, safe, validated, and understood. I take time to learn about your needs and address any concerns or apprehension you may have about therapy. Building trust and working in partnership are central to the process.
