Aletha knows firsthand how trauma can affect the life of someone. In 2007, Aletha experienced a life changing event when two coworkers' lives ended through workplace violence. It led to a diagnosis of PTSD. Through her faith and extensive prolonged exposure therapy, Aletha was able to heal the wounds from this event and past trauma. Aletha has dedicated the last 15 years to self-empowerment and empowering the lives of others.
In 2015, Aletha was led to start a foundation, We Are Pearls, for girls 7-18 years old focusing on mentoring, self esteem building, financial enhancement, healthy eating and community service. In her free time, Aletha enjoys writing, reading, decorating, volunteering, and spending time with friends/family.
Aletha has provided me with skills and practices that are exactly what I need to focus on to improve my thinking. She is understanding and encouraging. Her accountability and guidance has already helped me immensely.
A very compassionate and caring therapist. Aletha listens carefully and is skilled at identifying areas that need strengthening, and provides homework to enhance those areas. Strongly recommend.
Aletha has truly transformed my approach to managing anxiety through her exceptional active listening skills. She creates a safe space where I feel heard and understood, allowing me to express my feelings without judgment.
