You’ve Been Through Enough. You Deserve a Therapist Who Truly Gets It.
We See You. Fully.
You’ve tried to be strong. You’ve carried the weight for your family, your work, and your community.
But inside, it’s been exhausting…
Living with the anxiety, the shame, or the memories you wish you could leave behind.
I know that feeling. Not because I read it in a textbook, but because I’ve been there. I’ve faced seasons of depression, homelessness, and starting over after divorce.
I’ve lived through the nights where the future felt impossible. And I’ve rebuilt my life from nothing but faith and grit.
That’s why I started Help The People Therapy…
To give you a place where your story is safe, your pain is heard, and your healing is possible.
