"Don’t promise perfection. But promise to return to each other.”
Takisha is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving couples and Owner of Intentional Relationship Therapy, serving families across Illinois, Indiana, and Florida. She specializes in helping couples who love each other but feel stuck in recurring conflict, emotional distance, or the “Roommate Phase”.
Many of the couples Takisha supports are successful in other areas of life but feel discouraged by communication breakdowns, intimacy struggles, parenting stress, or unresolved breaches of trust. Her clients often seek clarity, structure, and practical tools to help them stop repeating painful patterns and rebuild connection.
Takisha uses a collaborative, culturally responsive, and systemic approach integrating narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, and evidence-based relational models. She helps couples identify destructive communication cycles, rebuild emotional safety, strengthen repair skills, and reconnect emotionally and physically while understanding how personal history and family dynamics shape relationships.
She works best with couples motivated to actively participate and practice skills between sessions. Takisha believes seeking therapy reflects commitment, not failure. Therapy offers a structured space where both partners can feel heard while building healthier, more connected relationships.
