I use Cognitive Behavioral therapy and some trauma focused therapy.
I feel my biggest strength is building relationships/rapport. I have worked in a variety of settings (counseling office, higher education, school systems) and as a result I am familiar with a lot of different issues/concerns.
I enjoy working with a variety of people from diverse backgrounds.

I worked with this therapist for about 6 months. While she provided insight and helped identify patterns, I often felt responsible for driving the direction of therapy. I regularly sent emails before sessions so there would be a plan, and topics she said she would revisit were often not brought up again. Despite attending consistently, I left feeling unclear about my goals, progress, and next steps, and therapy ended without the structure or guidance I was seeking.

KaShanda was amazing for our first appointment I am looking forward to next week. I like that she is intentional and I felt like I could be myself.
