LCSW, 7 years of experience
I am licensed therapist, based in Texas, with 7 years of experience. I am here to support & empower you in your journey to overcome the stress, anxiety, depression or conflict in your life. I have experience in working with individuals dealing with anxiety, family conflict, trauma and depression. I have weekend and evening scheduling options available, in addition to what is shown on my calendar.
In our first session together, I will take the time to ask you questions about your presenting symptoms and background to get a full understanding of your concern. During sessions, I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I am a non-judgmental provider that believes in treating everyone with respect, dignity, and compassion. Additionally, our time together during therapy sessions will be all about you. I will give you the time you need, without rushing, for you to tell me what you are going through and to make sure that I understand things clearly. I do not take a "know it all approach." I will be working alongside you, using my clinical knowledge and skill to guide you, in order to assist you with figuring out the best way to work through your issues.

I entered this experience feeling very unclear and disoriented about my feelings. During my initial session, Shay provided a very comforting framework for how she would engage and invited me to express myself. Within a very short amount of time, I was able to hear Shay synthesize and communicate back to me what I shared in a clarifying way, which allowed me to feel validated and calmed.

I love meeting with Shay! She's been so helpful over the last few months and I really appreciate all her time and patience listening and helping me work through my situations with a more thoughtful and mature approach!

Very easy to open up and talk to. Very down to earth and supportive.
Our thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect our feelings, and ultimately our actions. I will work with you to recognize your distortions in thinking that are creating problems, then reevaluate them in order to gain more positive feelings and desired behaviors.

I work with couples to repair trust, improve communication, and overcome conflict. Additionally, I work with engaged couples for pre-marital counseling. (Yes, I am happily married and have been for 16 years.)
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts, feelings, and topics of interest can be shared without fear of judgement. Making the choice to get therapy can be unsettling for anyone, and it can be even more so for those that have been conditioned to believe that all we have to do is have faith and things will magically change. God can do anything, but He also wants for us to do the work. James 2:17 NIV "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."
