Everyone faces challenges with anxiety, grief, depression or reduced self-esteem at times. I am here to provide caring, empathetic and structured support for when you’re dealing with these issues. You may also want to build upon the progress you’ve made in the past, but finding yourself stuck or without focus. Learning the triggers, tools and strategies to better understand and help manage these hurdles when they come up can have a lasting and positive impact. As a therapist with over 10 years of experience, I’ve worked with a wide range of diverse individuals and communities. Trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (CBT), I also include Solution-Focused and Strengths-Based concepts in my therapy practice. I look forward to listening to what matters to you, and together developing and supporting your path towards renewed balance and wellness. I also incorporate aspects of Somatic Therapy practices. As a supplement to the other tools we’ll explore, many people find that developing a more mindful, intuitive and body-focused awareness can boost progress towards their therapy and personal goals. This includes guided relaxation and sensory enhancement techniques that can be utilized beyond the therapy session, promoting a more empowered and durable sense of self. Now is a great time to begin taking these affirming steps towards your healthy and resilient future. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is essential to therapy. Together we will work to accomplish the goals you have for yourself. I believe that your core beliefs about yourself will impact the way you behave and feel; therefore, by considering and examining these beliefs, you can gradually alter them and consequently, alter your behaviors and emotions. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; however, my roots in client-centered have served me well by giving me the tools needed to build the therapeutic relationship. I am also skilled in Motivational Interviewing. My belief is that we can all use someone to support us in processing our thoughts and feelings. It can be difficult finding time, money and energy to find the right therapist. I would love to be of service to you on your journey. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group.

I understand that everyone's journey is different and unique and therefore I use an open-minded approach to enable growth and mental well-being.

Welcome! Im Shayda- Healing from trauma isn't something we're meant to do alone. When we safely reconnect with our nervous system with the support of an attuned therapist, therapy can be deeply powerful. I use trauma therapies like EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing to help you process pain and find lasting relief. I work with adults healing from PTSD, C-PTSD, childhood trauma, and attachment wounds. I also support survivors of sexual assault, toxic relationships, and those facing depression, anxiety, panic, or suicidal thoughts. Through this work, we can reprocess the past and create lasting healing and wholeness in your life. As a feminist, trauma-informed therapist, I recognize how systems of oppression, inequality, and societal expectations shape our experiences and impact our well-being. I offer culturally sensitive care that honors your lived experience - creating a space where you feel truly seen, valued, and understood. My priority is building safety and trust. I take the time to get to know you, bringing presence, compassion, attunement, and authenticity to our work. Together, we can take meaningful steps toward creating the life you envision and deserve. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation - I'd love to connect!

I believe that we can appear fine on the outside while feeling exhausted or unwell on the inside. Often, the ways we learned to survive can keep us stuck in unhealthy habits, painful relationships, or missed opportunities without us even realizing it. But healing is possible. I believe we can transform past pain into something meaningful. You can still reclaim a fuller version of yourself—one that brings strength to your relationships, your family, and your sense of self. Seeking support can be the hardest step, but with the right guidance, the mind and brain have a powerful capacity to heal and be restored. I often work with clients who frequently navigate the tension between family expectations, cultural values, and the demands of living in a different society. Together, we work to challenge internalized beliefs like "I'm not good enough" and build healthier ways of relating to oneself and others. A recurring focus in my practice is supporting individuals who feel stuck in unhealthy or unfulfilling relationships, helping them move toward greater clarity, empowerment, and self-worth. I began my career as a child therapist in schools, where I witnessed firsthand how deeply childhood experiences and trauma can shape a person’s sense of identity and self-worth. That foundation continues to guide my work today. I help clients gently recognize childhood wounds, process them with care, and foster meaningful growth toward a more grounded and authentic self. My approach is both gentle and direct. I meet you where you are, moving at a pace that feels right for you. In our work together, I offer a safe, honest space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported as we begin to untangle complex emotions and reshape the stories you tell yourself. We explore how early experiences—such as family dynamics, attachment patterns, or messages you received about who you were "supposed" to be—may still be influencing how you see yourself today.

Hello and welcome. In practicing psychotherapy for over 20 years, I have placed great value in establishing meaningful and secure connections with my patients that have served in healing and being free from deeply held emotional, psychological, and relational wounds. I value the journey of exploring and understanding together so as to help patients reach and nurture a healthy and authentic sense of self; in developing a kinder relationship to and greater connectedness to ones emotional life and self worth; in developing healthier relationships to others; and ultimately securing a sense of overall satisfaction and well being, inside and out. Feeling seen, heard, understood, and known can be life-changing and transformative. Patients who come to seek treatment from me are often looking for a safe, confidential, empathic therapy relationship to share their feelings, understand themselves, to nurture emotional and psychological growth. One motivating factor for therapy is the desire for relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, relational difficulties, and self-esteem related struggles that have been either life long or situational. Treatment focus is often related to on-going issues related to depression, panic/anxiety, grief/loss, insecurities related to self and others, chronic medical conditions, physical/ sexual/ relational trauma, intimacy and relationship concerns, and issues related to self esteem/ self image/ body image. The type of psychotherapy I offer is informed by a developmental, relational/ intersubjective, and contemporary psychoanalytic frame of reference. This type of work offers a broad and meaningful exploration and working through of long held emotional and relational issues, gaining insight into the underlying root causes of symptoms and concerns, and the development of a healthy sense of self and authentic emotional life. Providing a safe, empathic environment are only a few of the many essential ingredients in establishing a secure working therapeutic relationship, and something that is seen as essential and greatly valued in this process of self discovery. The process of psychotherapy can offer meaningful emotional healing, in-depth understanding, and psychological working through of all that has had an impact on your relationship to your self, your physical and emotional wellbeing, and relationship to others. Through insight and a deeply felt authentic connection to ones emotional life, there is opportunity to develop new and more conscious/adaptive ways of living, coping, and relating so as to reduce suffering, and to improve overall quality of day to day living. In certain cases, mindfulness based meditation, visualization, and relaxation techniques are offered to assist with being more accepting, conscious, present and connected to your self, your body/mind, to others, and to your life in general. With conscious mindfulness based attention, and resulting integration of the body/ mind/ feeling, there can be an experience of emotional grounding, centeredness, and general enhancement in the quality of your life.
