Shaakira is a licensed social worker who is passionate about supporting women through some of life’s most tender and challenging seasons. She specializes in working with pregnant and postpartum moms, as well as individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Whether you’re adjusting to motherhood, stress with work or life, managing the pressures of college, or working through shifts that feel overwhelming, you don’t have to do it alone.
Her approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. Together, you'll explore what’s weighing on you, identify the patterns that are no longer serving you, and build new coping skills that help you feel more steady and empowered. Shaakira also supports clients in learning healthy boundaries—both with themselves and others—so they can move through life with greater clarity and confidence. Her approach to therapy centers around renewal. She strives to empower clients to start fresh and grow motivation to make healthy changes in their lives. Clients find that Renew Counseling offers an atmosphere that feels safe and supportive as they talk about what’s happening in their lives. They benefit from learning about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices, increasing their self-awareness and learning more about their patterns to bridge new coping skills.
Therapy with Shaakira feels like a safe place to exhale, reflect, and grow. You deserve support that honors your story, your strengths, and your goals. Shaakira is here to walk alongside you as you navigate whatever comes next.
