ey, I'm Tyra! Officially, I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor.
But... I'm more than just a therapist. I'm a woman on a journey, just like many of you. Hailing from Chicago, I've called various parts of Illinois home for many years. I'm a mom, a partner, a sister, a daughter, and a friend. Over time, I've navigated and conquered numerous challenges in my personal life, and through those experiences, I've gained invaluable insights that enrich my approach as a clinician.

Testimonials
“I was specifically looking for a therapist who would understand me as a Black Woman and you understood the assignment! I truly don’t know if anyone will ever GET ME like you do” -J.B.
“I was able to bring my full self into therapy. I never felt judged and you really helped me to unpack how my childhood traumas influence my thoughts and decisions. You really hold me accountable and support me in my growth” -M.A.
When I first started therapy, I was in an identity crisis. I didn’t know who I was or what I wanted out of life. Therapy has helped me develop the language needed to pursue my purpose and define my own life” -S.T
