About My Clients

Congratulations on taking the first step towards improving your mental health and quality of life. You might be finding that life, as it has been lately, feels harder than it should be. Maybe you are not feeling good about yourself, you're struggling with anxiety or depression, or noticing relationship patterns that leave you feeling frustrated and unsatisfied. Whatever you're dealing with, I look forward to helping you empower yourself to pursue your goals and a life worth living!

My Background and Approach

Shandelle (she/her) specializes in using cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-based approaches to help people make lasting changes to their self-image that lead to real changes in their lives. She is also trained in EMDR for the treatment of trauma. Her approach in therapy is hands on, goal-oriented, strengths based, and gender and identity affirming. Shandelle works actively to help clients challenge unrealistic and self-limiting patterns of thinking, deconstruct who they are from who they have learned to be, learn how to feel safe and regulated in their body, cultivate options for difficult life situations that align with their values, and learn the necessary skills to meet their needs. These skills may include assertiveness, boundary setting and reinforcing, effective communication, goal setting, mindfulness, physiological relaxation, and grounding skills.
