She holds a Bachelor’s degree in organizational communications, a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy and a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision. Dr. Jeannelle is specifically trained to transform relationships by exploring communication skills, understanding intimacy and sexuality, and improving conflict resolution. She specializes in the intersection of race and mental health, particularly related to the Black experience, the history of American slavery and its influence on the lives and relationships of individuals, families and couples in the Black community.

Her recent book, Into-Me-See, explores the cultural and personal factors that can make it challenging for Black couples to develop and maintain intimacy, while offering solutions that strengthen their unity. As a South Carolina state licensed supervisor, an adjunct professor at The Citadel in Charleston, S.C. and Practicum Supervisor at Liberty and Capella Universities, Dr. Jeannelle aims to help develop a new generation of clinical counselors, particularly in the South, who are culturally competent mental health care providers who consider how someone’s culture, race or ethnicity may influence their mental health. Dr. Jeannelle often says and believes "the greatest generational wealth that can be bestowed is mental and emotional wellness."
