Hi there! Do you find yourself feeling "lost" by the various struggles of your life? Do you find yourself questioning your purpose? Let me help you! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience in the community mental health arena. I have worked with a variety of concerns i.e. crisis management, depression/anxiety, grief/loss, relational issues and stress management. Often times, we can lose sight of what we need when we are pushing through our own emotional fog. I can help you navigate these experiences in real-time with solutions suited to your desired outcomes.

Shay brings an energy and warmth that naturally creates space for safe conversations. I appreciate her ability to offer holistic insights that productively challenge my viewpoints. Shay is intentional with probing questions around how I'm managing self care and always offers thoughtful insights that inform goals I set for myself around mental health and overall well-being. Highly recommend!

I gave up on therapy for a while, and now since having the opportunity to meet Shay I am so enthusiastic about therapy again and healing and I definitely see a difference within myself personally and this wouldn’t be possible without her, she is very professional, challenges you, and is very caring, so happy to start my healing journey!!
