About Lakendrel

I am a proud alumna of Prairie View A&M University, where I earned both a Master of Arts in Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with honors. I bring over ten years of experience supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and other life challenges.

As a United States Army Veteran who served eight years with a wartime deployment, I understand firsthand the stigma surrounding mental health and the barriers that can make seeking help feel difficult. My goal is to help break those barriers by providing a safe, caring, and supportive environment for healing.

I am especially passionate about working with individual adults, Veterans, and First Responders who are facing depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and life transitions. My commitment to this work began early, shaped by witnessing a close family member struggle with mental health concerns and recognizing the importance of timely, compassionate support.

I strive to empower my clients to better understand themselves, build resilience, and move forward with confidence and hope.

One interesting thing about me is…

I have training in beekeeping and a long-term goal of having a homestead with bees in the future. I enjoy learning hands-on skills that require patience, care, and respect for nature.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, attending church, helping others, watching movies, and being outdoors. I love hiking, biking, camping, skating, and traveling when possible.
