ABOUT LATANYA

As a systemic therapist, I empathize with the struggles of individuals, couples, and families as they strive to strengthen their relationships with themselves and with those who matter most to them. I recognize the complexities of navigating relationships, whether it's the internal struggle following a traumatic experience, the aftermath of infidelity in a marriage, or the impact of family dynamics on mental well-being.

My area of expertise lies in assisting couples who struggle with communication, often finding themselves in conflict cycles that affect the health of the relationship and the individual partners. I draw heavily from the work of Drs. John and Julie Gottman, using the Gottman Method to help couples rekindle their connection, nurture lasting love and friendship, and manage conflict. As a Gottman Seven Principles Leader, I equip couples with proven, practical, and effective strategies for a successful relationship/marriage.

I also provide individual and family psychotherapy for a diverse range of issues. Whether it's childhood or relational trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, or challenges in adjusting to life transitions, I am here to support you.

I offer in-person and virtual sessions for individuals, couples, and families. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about how I can support you in this season with what you are carrying. It is my honor to help you navigate this.
