I Am Accepting New Clients

When the workplace stress becomes too heavy, who carries you?
I’m Laniece, a therapist who brings HR expertise and lived experience to support those struggling under the weight of work.
Before becoming a licensed social worker, I built a career in corporate HR, earning my BBA in Human Resource Management along with SHRM-CP and PHR certifications. I spent years navigating the behind-the-scenes systems that impact employee well-being. Everything from labor relations and performance management to FMLA, ADA accommodations, grievance procedures, and yes, EAPs and short-term disability too.
As a diverse woman in those spaces, I know what it’s like to be the only one in the room, to carry the pressure of overachievement, to smile through microaggressions, and to question your worth when the environment itself is what’s broken.
Now, as a therapist, I use both my lived experience and clinical training to support professionals who feel stretched thin, stuck, or simply tired. Whether you’re navigating burnout, toxic leadership, identity fatigue, or looking for clarity on your next move, I provide a safe compassionate space where your story is heard, and your healing begins.
Let’s get you back to you.
Professional pressure shouldn’t cost you your peace.
