Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Shantel! I’m a people person at heart, dedicated to fostering meaningful connections and leaving others feeling supported and uplifted after our time together. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can comfortably unpack your life’s challenges, and together, we’ll work through the issues that have brought you here.

If you're seeking support for mood or anxiety disorders, interpersonal challenges, loss of identity, depression, or eating disorders, you’ve come to the right place. My mission is to walk alongside you on your journey, helping to facilitate meaningful change so you can embrace life fully and start living again.

As a licensed therapist, I’ve been privileged to guide individuals on their paths toward healing and personal growth. My experience has allowed me to facilitate transformative change, empowering those who are seeking to overcome challenges and embrace a brighter, more fulfilling future.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is to serve as a compassionate guide on the journey toward growth and healing. By collaborating closely with my clients, we work together to create a purposeful and fulfilling life—one that you can truly be proud to call your own.

What you can expect from me

I believe no one should ever feel like they’ve reached the end of the road with nowhere to turn. When hope feels out of reach, my mission is to inspire and empower my clients to keep moving forward as we work together to find the light at the end of the tunnel.
