"Every storm runs out of rain."
― Maya Angelou
Therapy is most effective when built on a foundation of genuine care and empathy. Aleisha doesn’t just listen—she steps into her clients’ world, seeking to understand their struggles from the inside out. By walking alongside them with compassion, Aleisha helps uncover the unspoken emotions, patterns, and beliefs that may be keeping them stuck. Using a blend of CBT, DBT, and play therapy, therapy becomes a space where clients can challenge unhelpful thoughts, develop emotional regulation skills, and safely explore their experiences. True healing happens not just by addressing symptoms but by identifying and removing the obstacles that stand in the way of a client’s ability to thrive. Through this process, therapy empowers individuals to build resilience, strengthen their sense of self, and move toward a more fulfilling life.
Outside of her work, Aleisha enjoys spending time with family and friends, whether it’s gathering for a meal, cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs, or just catching up. She loves getting lost in a good movie or TV show, appreciating the way stories can offer both escape and insight. Reading is another passion of hers—it’s a great way to keep learning and gaining new perspectives. Whether through sports, entertainment, or time with loved ones, Aleisha values the moments that bring connection, relaxation, and a little bit of fun.
