Latosha is passionate about working with older adults struggling with depression, especially later in life older adults who may be grappling with a loss of identity or profound sadness. Latosha believes in the transformative power of this stage of life and is committed to guiding her clients through a process of self-discovery, bolstering their self-esteem, and helping them overcome limiting beliefs to rediscover joy and purpose.

Latosha specializes in working with older adults who are experiencing anxiety, especially Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Latosha understands that persistent worry thoughts, stress, and overall sense of overwhelm can often be brought on by the pressures of managing finances, careers, relationships and more later in life. She is passionate about utilizing evidence-based practices to empower her clients to make positive life changes, fostering a sense of peace and control amidst the chaos of the modern world.

Latosha also specializes in working with older adults who have experienced traumatic events of all kinds. Trauma can appear in many forms, including sudden loss of a spouse or loved one, injury, and more. Through the application of EFIT techniques, Latosha helps her clients to manage and express their trauma-related emotions, improve their connections with others, and aid them in the journey to rebuild their lives.
