ABOUT ME

Welcome! With over 20 years in the field, I started my practice 3 years ago to create a safe space for Black women to heal. As a trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in EMDR and KAP, combining my expertise and lived experience to support growth, change, and self-determination.

I’m originally from New York City, where I received my education and I now call Maryland home. I offer in-person sessions for clients in Frederick, Maryland, and provide telehealth services across multiple states.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards healing and empowerment.

Now accepting clients for virtual appointments in Florida, Vermont and Virginia. Available for in person and virtual appointments in Maryland.

what my clients are saying…

  • I am forever grateful!

    I came to Tyisha during a particularly painful part of my healing process. After years of CBT, I knew the root causes of my behavior and negative thought patterns, but that didn't change how I felt and thought about myself. Tyisha's method of EMDR intensives helped me reprocess those negative beliefs and feel where those traumatic events settled in my body. Those sessions made me feel more rooted and grounded in my body and allowed me to integrate positive, new beliefs about myself.

  • The change was immediate and lasting

    I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect when I first thought about trying EMDR, but i’m sure glad I did! I’m grateful to Tyisha for working with me and guiding me through this amazing experience.
