I use diversity when working with individuals to overcome challenges such as marital issues, anger management, school behaviors, stress management, mood disorders, communication and managing interpersonal relationship issues.

My approach combines positive psychology, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and dialectical behavior counseling.

Shakia is an extremely professional, encouraging and positive therapist who has helped me tremendously even in a short amount of time. She is able to provide an open space that welcomes all concerns, thoughts and actions. She has encouraged me to delve into my thoughts, childhood, and personal life to reflect on why I think the way I do. I can't recommend her enough!
