Hey family! Ironically, I could have never imagined that introverted-Myisha would possess a career in counseling. As a child, my introverted personality was heavily stigmatized and often times I that I was the issue. I had no idea that God was preparing me in ways that I could never imagine to serve his Kingdom. Let me explain, my gift of introverted-ness cultivated a person who values patience, is quick to listen and slow to speak, who uses self-awareness to manage emotions, and one who observes body language with a high accuracy rate due to the innate characteristics of a true introvert...sounds like characteristics for a great counselor, wouldn't you say! :)​

Marriage and Family therapy in particular has been a blessing as it has granted me the opportunity to not only serve people in a way that empowers their mental health journeys, but to also help them connect with their loved ones on a deeper level. This field  of work has also allowed me the advantage to better manage some of my own stormy seasons. Having to recoup from Covid and combat mental health challenges that my own children were going through, from social anxiety to battles with  neurodivergence. In addition to the break-down of my own marriage began to take a toll on me and my family, yet my background in mental health provided relief in regards to awareness of what battles we were up against and how to obtain the help we needed. Although there have been mountain top moments, there has been many seasons spent in the valleys. Those seasons of feeling low were more encouraging than discouraging. If anything, they woke me up! How can I help other family's face the inevitable sufferings that life bring?! I know all too well, that even if an individual is experiencing difficulties, someone else is affected by that experience. This is why I use a relational viewpoint to create systems that not only safe guard the individual facing challenges, but also loved ones connected to them. Whether it helping couples solidify a firm foundation to build on or helping to restructure family dynamics that makes room for deeper connections, I pride myself in encompassing formal education, personal experience, and biblical wisdom to guide my clients towards solutions...and healing!
