Meet Jerrica

Originally from Danville, VA, I relocated to the Hampton Roads, VA to attend Old Dominion University, where I earned my BS in Psychology. I later obtained my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. I am a wife, mother, sister, and friend who loves spending time with family, traveling, learning new things, and connecting with friends. In my practice, I value authenticity and bring my full personality into sessions because I know how crucial it is for building a genuine therapeutic connection. My clients appreciate talking to a real person as they unpack their life’s story. I became a therapist because I believe every community deserves access to quality mental health care, and I wanted to be the helper I didn’t see enough of in my BIPOC community.
