Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Shani!

If you're reading this, you're likely taking one of the first steps toward self-betterment. It can be an emotional and overwhelming process to reach out for help, and I aim to make the process as painless as possible.

My approach

I utilize an eclectic therapeutic approach, with a strong focus on motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and the strengths perspective.

My focus

I am particularly passionate about working with addiction, mood, and personality disorders, as well as working with organ transplantation candidates and recipients. I am experienced in working with adolescents and adults.

My communication style

I believe in maintaining open and honest communication with my clients and involving them in the treatment planning process. Together, we will customize a treatment plan to meet your unique goals and needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Florida State University, which I completed from August 2015 to May 2017 in Tallahassee, FL. I have been practicing as a Master's-level clinician since 2017, with most of my experience in dual diagnosis (addiction + mental health) and medical settings. From September 2017 to September 2019, I completed my clinical hours for licensure at Windmoor Healthcare in Clearwater FL, Largo Medical Center - Indian Rocks in Largo FL, and Tampa General Hospital in Tampa FL.

My goals for you

As your therapist, my goal is to support you in your journey of self-betterment and personal growth. I feel privileged to work with my clients, and I enjoy being a part of their progress and development.

My first session with you

In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and explore your unique needs and goals. This will help us develop a customized treatment plan that aligns with your objectives and preferences. I'll also share more about my therapeutic approach and how I can best support you in your journey.
