I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Master Certified Addiction Professional with a deep passion for motivating and advocating for my clients. I hold a master’s degree in Educational Psychology, a second master’s in Mental Health Counseling, and a Ph.D. in Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Marriage and Family Counseling from Barry University.

I am a licensed therapist with 27 years of experience, and I have learned through my work — and my life — that healing is always possible. If you are living with depression or anxiety, you may have spent years managing, pushing through, or simply surviving. There is another way.

I am deeply drawn to working with adults at midlife and beyond — women and men navigating life transitions, grief and loss, caregiver burnout, empty nest, and the complicated emotions that come with this rich and often underestimated stage of life. We carry so much in these years — love, wisdom, loss, regret, fear and hope — and all of it deserves space to be seen and integrated.

Clients often tell me they feel both deeply understood and gently challenged. I bring genuine warmth and compassion, but I am also direct and perceptive. I see what is underneath the words — the unspoken emotions and patterns that quietly shape our lives. Together we work to bring those hidden parts to light, where they can transform into sources of strength and clarity.

Hello, I am Skip I have been a therapist for over 12 years. I love what I do and am passionate about assisting people with addressing life issues. I specialize in trauma, addictions and couples therapy.

My name is Sharnice, I am a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of clinical experience supporting individuals and families navigating a wide range of mental health and medical concerns.

My psychiatric specializations include mood disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, and co-occurring substance use conditions. As a dual-certified provider, I also bring a primary care lens to my psychiatric practice — allowing me to treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply individualized. I believe every person deserves a space that feels safe, affirming, and free of judgment — where their voice is heard and their goals shape the direction of their care. Whether you are seeking support for the first time or looking for a provider who will truly partner with you in your wellness journey, I am here to meet you where you are.

If you're carrying anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that hasn't had space to breathe, or the weight of holding your family together while losing yourself in the process, you're not alone. I've spent over 16 years working with adults and older adults, many walking into therapy for the first time after years of pushing through in silence. My clients describe me as warm, calm, and someone they can be honest with without feeling judged. Sessions available in English and Spanish. ¿Prefieres terapia en español? Bienvenida.
