Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Shakia, a licensed therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and confidence. With a background in various clinical social work roles, including mental health therapy, treatment foster care, perinatal social work, and 6 years of experience supporting clients through anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where healing begins.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care and mindfulness-based approaches. I work with adults and teens who are ready to explore their inner world and build healthier patterns. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, whether you're seeking relief from emotional pain, clarity in your relationships, or tools to manage stress and anxiety.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I’ll create a safe, welcoming space where you can share your story at your own pace. We’ll go over your background and explore what’s bringing you to therapy. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and outline a personalized treatment plan. My aim is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered from the very beginning.
