Hi there, I'm Shaunte!

I work with people feeling weighed down by stress, anxiety, past trauma, or challenges in relationships. Many of my clients want to feel more in control of their thoughts and emotions but aren't sure where to start. Therapy with me is about making changes you can see and feel in your daily life.

My focus

I often work with people who feel stuck—whether from trauma that still lingers, constant anxiety that makes it hard to focus, or grief that feels too heavy to carry alone. I also support couples and families who want to improve communication and reconnect in healthier ways.

My approach

I believe no two people heal the same way. My approach is flexible and adapts to your unique needs, pace, and personality. Together, we'll explore the challenges you're facing, uncover strengths you may not realize you have, and build new skills that bring relief and confidence.
