My name is Shaquila, a LCSW specializing specialize in supporting individuals through life transitions, anxiety, depression, women's issues, female adolescents and maternal mental health. I understand that life's journey can sometimes be overwhelming, leaving us feeling lost, anxious, or stuck.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My approach to therapy is rooted in evidence-based practices, with a deep understanding of the unique needs and experiences of women and mothers. I'm here to listen, validate your experiences, and help you find your inner strength and resilience.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My therapeutic approach is client-centered and tailored to best meet each client's needs. I utilize CBT, Solution-Focused brief therapy, and a Strengths-Based perspective. I like integrating mindfulness techniques and the client's spiritual or faith-based practices. I provide reflective exercises at the end of our sessions for your continued growth because real change happens in your everyday life.

I believe in a client-centered, holistic approach to therapy that fosters a safe and empathetic space for self-discovery and healing. My goal is to help you uncover your inner strengths and resources, enabling you to navigate life's transitions with grace and resilience.
