Hello,

My name is Keisha and I specialize in treating various issues. I appreciate the opportunity to provide my services to you. I create a safe space for my clients, free of judgement and full of understanding.

Ever feel like your brain just won't cooperate? You know what you need to do, but you can't make yourself do it. You lose things, forget things, start projects you never finish — and you've probably been told to just try harder.

That gets old.

I'm Rodney. I'm a board-certified PMHNP and I work exclusively with adults who think they might have ADHD — or who already know they do and need a provider who actually gets it. ADHD is all I do, which means I'm not guessing.

I'll be straight with you: I talk to my patients like people, not cases. I want to know what your life actually looks like — your job, your relationships, what's driving you crazy — because that's how we figure out what's going to help.

I'm a veteran, and if that's part of your story too, you'll feel that in how I communicate. Direct, no fluff, no runaround.

I see adults across all of North Carolina via telehealth, seven days a week. If this sounds like what you've been looking for, just reach out.

My background is in all aspects of mental health and substance abuse.

You don’t have to keep repeating the same painful patterns. As a licensed trauma and addiction therapist, I help individuals uncover the emotional wounds and subconscious beliefs that drive anxiety, depression, and self-defeating behaviors. Healing begins when we understand—not judge—why we do what we do.

I specialize in trauma recovery, addiction treatment, and emotional regulation, helping clients build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Whether you’re navigating PTSD, anxiety, codependency, or recovery from substance use, my goal is to help you move from survival mode into authentic healing and growth.

Tara has an energetic laugh that puts clients at ease and enjoys playfully incorporating her love of sarcasm (it is her self-proclaimed primary love language) into her work with her clients. She has been known to lovingly call people out on their “bologna” when she sees or hears it and is a great accountability partner. Tara is also incredibly empathetic and provides a warm and safe environment and a quiet listening ear when the situation calls for it. Noticing and reading nonverbal communication and body language is a skill Tara possesses in spades so she often learns a lot even from things that go unsaid. Tara encourages her clients to be genuine and authentic and to use whatever kind of colorful language they choose (as long as it isn’t name calling with your partner next to you)- therapy with Tara is a judgement free zone! She is unapologetically herself and she encourages her clients to do the same.

Tara is passionate about working with couples who are struggling in their marriage or relationship to find peace, to communicate more effectively, to have a more agreeable distribution of responsibilities, to process and work on healing past relationship traumas, to “fight fairly”, and most importantly to learn to have fun together and appreciate one another again. Helping couples to identify their love language and learn how to express love in their partner’s love language is an important part of her work with couples.

Tara also enjoys helping individuals who are struggling how to navigate their current relationship or having a hard time finding the relationship that they want, need and deserve. She assists clients whose worlds have been sent for a loop after experiencing a tough breakup and helps them to pick up the pieces, grieve the loss, and ultimately move forward toward new relationships where they can use what they have learned from the processing of their previous relationships and discussions of what went right and what went wrong.

She aims to help people who feel like they are failing at life and can’t quite seem to “get it together”. This can include the people who are always looking for an “adultier” adult around and those that struggle with procrastination, perfectionism, prioritizing, self-care, comparison to others, work/school/family/life balance, and co-dependency. Through their work together, Tara and her clients work through these issues to find tools and skills to improve the areas a client can change and ultimately work towards self-acceptance on the things that they are unable to change. Acknowledgment of your own self-worth is something that Tara finds incredibly important.
