I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a Master of Social Work degree in 1992. I am dually and independently licensed in mental health (Licensed Independent Social Worker-Supervisor or LISW-S) and substance abuse (Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor - Clinical Supervisor or LICDC-CS). I started out working with children and families, foster care, and adoption at non-profit agencies, helping families to overcome obstacles to success. For the past 25 years, I have worked with men and women who are struggling with stress, depression, anxiety, anger, relationship issues, mental health issues, substance use issues, and other issues, to learn the skills and thought processes needed to become successful. I specialize in Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Anger Management, Life Transitions, Stress Management, Women's Issues, and Ethnicity/Diversity Issues.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we will do brief introductions and discuss what brings you to therapy. Then I will ask questions related to your background so that I can develop a better understanding of your needs. Then will end by identifying your specific goals for therapy, develop an individualized treatment plan to fit your unique needs, and discuss how I can help.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I use a combination of my education, life experience, job experience, and Best Practices to identify the best approach for your current issue(s). The world can be traumatizing at times, and we may sometimes get tired and want to give up. There is hope! I believe we each have what we need inside of us to live the life we imagined; sometimes we just need a little help. Sometimes we just need someone who will listen to us, work with us, and walk with us to achieve what appeared to be the unachievable.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Clients trying to cope with anxiety, stress, depression, PTSD, anger management, life transitions, spiritual issues, and self esteem issues.

Sheenah is one of the best counselors I have ever talked with. She gave me homework to do which helped me get back on track in thinking correctly. I plan to keep talking with her on and off she has made a big difference in my day to day life.

I was interested in race based therapy. This was a first for me. Sheenah provided tools for example, core beliefs and gratitude journaling to allow me to know what I am working with. She listens to me without interruption. She provides the basics, and safe space so I may heal. This has been a gratifying experience. Thank you Sheenah.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for over 20 years. While it is not the only approach, and your needs may vary, CBT is based on evidence based research and is best practice for many issues. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you learn how your thought process impacts the choice you make, which can determine your success. I also use Motivational Interviewing to meet you where you are, and learn where you would like to be. I utilze other therapeutic strategies as needed, as your specific needs may vary.
