I applaud you on taking the first steps to address your mental and physical health. Seeking counseling is a major step in pursuing the life you desire. With over twelve years of experience in providing therapeutic interventions and consulting, I aim to provide guidance in areas where stagnation or obstacles hinder clients from performing at a certain level of normalcy.
My counseling style is more of "let's have a conversation." I am a bit intrusive, pushing beyond the "one word" responses to delve deeper into the nature of concern. Notice I always say concern or issue and not problem for we are not trying to "solve problems" but address arising worries. Describing me is authenticity, honesty, a sense of humor, professional and sincere care for my clients.
I believe in a holistic approach to wellness specializing in mental health, relationships, family therapy, fitness/nutrition, and much more. It is imperative for clients to understand they are a part of process included in therapy to not only feel better, but to also maintain a certain level of health through self-care once sessions are completed.

Shamona, Shamona... where to start... she's very refreshing and truly an impressive person. She's incredibly real, very smart and intuitive, and consistently relatable. We were matched very well because she could quickly understand me, but then helped me to see things about how I was being that I wasn't really seeing. She's an incredible listener, but always made time to add something for me to take away and think about until our next session. She always wanted me to win at what I was working through, and never discouraged me from something I was doing. Instead, she'd help me to see how I was being and to think about the situation objectively. I've grown a lot in my relationship with myself, my partner, and my sister during my time with Shamona, and am so grateful we were paired. She has created an open door for me whenever I need to talk, and knowing that's out there is incredibly comforting and strengthening.

Ms. Shamona is wonderful! She is patient she digs deep into issues and she also lets you go at your pace. She forces you to recognize patterns but also allows you to feel comfortable and secure with your journey. She gives tips and consoles as well as encourages that little steps are steps in the right direction for you regardless of how it may seem. Healing is not linear and she is there for when it isn’t and recognizes you when you’ve done the work. I am very grateful I found someone like her that doesn’t look at me as broken but someone that needs the guidance to figure it out within your time. Thank you and look forward to our sessions everytime.

Shamona is a blessing . I have been to multiple therapists before, and she is the one I can say has been the most helpful. She makes me feel comfortable because she talks in a way that is common to me, it isn't so straightforward and serious, but truly is like talking to a friend, which makes conversing so much eaiser because I truly am at ease. I love the way she pushes me to go further and dig deeper. It isn't easy, but it is worth it. Since working with her I feel like I am more mindful of myself. She gives me things to work on outside of our session which I also really like. It gives me something to practice on and I never really had that with other therapists. I really do love her, and I plan to continue with her for as long as possible. She really is such a positive in my life, although I get nervous, because of my own issues, I truly deep down look forward to our sessions every week. Not only is she helping me work through my own issues, but she also is helping me become better in life in general and I am so thankful for that. For once in a long time, I feel like a I can take a breath of fresh air. She truly is amazing at what she does and is one of a kind. She writes things down during our sessions, she remembers little details that I tell her, like my birthday party etc. I am truly grateful for her and I wish there were more therapists like her, because anyone struggling or just looking for improvement on themselves truly deserves a therapist like her.

I worked with Shamona for a brief time, but I immediately felt connected and guided by her. She helped me work through a very stressful time in my life while also identifying areas I could improve myself. I love her honest, her encouragement, and her overall warmth as a person. I would love to work with her again in the near future.

Shamona has been a godsend for me! She is professional and very compassionate!! She really listens and gets down the root cause of how you’re feeling and gives such helpful insight! I strongly recommend her as a therapist because after working with her for 6 months, I can definitely see a huge improvement in my mental health!!

Hands down the best therapist I've found. She takes on a very active role and in just a few sessions, she challenged me to dig deeper and start to find healing. She's also very validating and you can tell she cares about her what she does. When I'm ready to resume counseling, I'll be coming back here. 10/10 would recommend.
