YOUR CONFIDENCE IS SUPREME

OVER 25 YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL experience

Carl Jung once said, "One day You will grow up and the world will ask you who You are. If You don't know who you are, the world will quickly tell You." I believe the active choices we make, play a crucial role in shaping our sense of personal satisfaction, emotional confidence, and overall well-being. Changing the story you tell about yourself, can have a profound impact on how difficult or easy the next few years of your life will be. Will Your story be one of courage, conviction and personal empowerment, or a repetitive tale of powerlessness? Will it be a story of accountability and healing, or shame? You are the only one with the power to decide you matter. Empower Your voice. Redesign and refine, You. Choose freedom.

What clients are saying

EXPERIENCE
My deepest gratitude for all that you havedone for me over the past year. During one of the darkest periods of my life, both personally and professionally, you were a steady source of support, guidance, and kindness. Your compassionate nature and insightful perspective helped me navigatechallenges I never thought I’d get through, and for that, I am forever grateful. Out of all the therapists I’ve worked with over the years, you have truly been the best. Your ability to listen without judgment, offer wisdom when I needed it most, and help me see the light at the end of the tunnel has made such a profound impact on my life. Ihonestly don’t know where I would be today without your support.Thank you for everything — your patience, your encouragement, and most of all, for believing in me when I struggled to believe in myself. I am so thankful to have had you by my side on this journey. With heartfelt appreciation. -Cathy Seattle, Washington
NO COMPARISON
"My testimony is how beautifully gentle I am with myself today. Although I sense Temple does not like to be referred to as such, She is a powerful Soul-healer. As a single, modern, Black, female, Christian, I was able to connect with Temple for the healing and growth I sought. Healing through the lens of Higher Power is indeed, POWER. Temple can be tough, but she is the perfect therapist for someone ready to get over themselves and into action. She will hold you to the actionable steps you identify as necessary for change. -M. Washington, D.C.
Soul-Care
"I found Temple at a time in my life when I was sick and tired of running from myself, but I had no idea what our journey together would entail and how much my life would change over the course of a year. My only criteria back then was that my therapist be female and from a minority background. Temple checked those boxes and then some. It’s been 4 years now since our first session. while I’m a work always in progress and newfound layers to, I can truly say I am proud of the person I’ve become. I have discovered how to feel emotions again. I found peace within my thoughts and learned that I deserve this exceptional life." I am both in a loving relationasip with myself and with my devoted partner. Thank you Temple. -A. Los Angeles
It's a new day if you decide it is.
