Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Arizona, with over a decade of experience in the field. I hold a Master’s degree from Grand Canyon University and a Bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University. I am a first-born Leo who's been providing therapy for over 10 years helping clients with a range of mental health challenges in a community mental health setting. My goal is to assist clients with removing barriers that prevent them from thriving in their life from a trauma perspective. I have a clear and goal-oriented approach to counseling focused on us working together to achieve your goals.
Life at times can be hard, I want to be there to help you navigate the messy parts. The parts that test your patience, cause intense emotions, and flat out drive you nuts - I want to help you through them. I offer direct feedback, coping skill to be more effective, insight as to why it might be so hard, or just a listening ear to help you feel less alone in it. We get to choose just how "hard" it can be, I want to help lessen that burden with you. You can expect curiosity and compassion from me as we talk about topics or events that might be challenging to face.
My greatest strength as a provider is my commitment to curiosity and clear communication. This approach fosters trust and ensures mutual understanding with clients, helping them understand what to expect and the rationale behind my recommendations or actions in a therapeutic setting. Additionally, my goal-oriented mindset allows me to focus on achieving results efficiently, guiding clients towards their objectives in a timely manner.
I am passionate about working with clients who are eager to move into a thriving position in their lives but find themselves hindered by trauma. If you find that you are struggling with anxiety, low self-worth/diminished self-esteem, challenges with making decisions, nightmares, flashbacks, or feeling like you aren't in the driver's seat of your actions I would love to partner with you to reduce the challenges so you can function better in your life and relationships. My focus is on helping individuals navigate these challenges to achieve greater personal fulfillment and resilience.

Shaunte is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She challenges me and helps me see other perspectives besides my own. She creates a safe space and makes me feel heard and validated.
