(she/her)
My therapy approach is always non judgmental, attuned, and integrates active listening as well as unconditional positive regard. In addition, my multicultural personal and professional backgrounds allow me to work with a variety of cultures. Also, I try my best to meet the client where they are and learn where it is they want to be/go in life. This allows me to assist them in accomplishing the aforementioned in compassionate, authentic, and realistic ways.
The first session is typically focused on getting to know your reasons for seeking therapy in a personalized and in depth way. Also, the 1st session will be utilized to become familiar with your preferences and comfort level.
I am down to earth, attentive, and dedicated to your growth and self-empowerment.
I work with clients ages 18-65. I find that I have the best fit with clients who innately enjoy gaining self-insight and psychoeducation; as well as clients who understand that therapy is a collaborative working relationship. My approaches are based in healing, psychoeducation, holistic treatment planning, and client's ability to improve and or learn internal motivation/self-determinism. I integrate active listening and empathy as well as encouragement and motivation to modify and adjust the behavioral and thinking problems causing stagnation and or distress.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Oftentimes there are a lot of emotions, beliefs, and attitudes that are in our subconscious that we would benefit from tapping into in order to process and address them effectively.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Our thoughts, emotions, and behavior are interrelated and influence one another. It’s important to become familiar with this aspect of human nature to gain better self understanding and self regulation.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Accepting where we currently are and that healing, growth, and or change require personal commitment are integral parts of therapy offering life changing benefits.

Shante was very straightforward and very educated you can tell from background and she listened anytime I had stopped. She had given me a clear response and broke down my sentence and how I felt I felt very seen and like she understood.
