More about Shandria
- 1 year's experience
- Female
- LCSW
I specialize in supporting clients with depression, anxiety, stress-related issues, life transitions, and unresolved or repressed trauma. Life happens quickly, and we don’t always have the tools or perspective to show up as our best selves. I believe a successful therapeutic relationship depends on working together to create a sense of peace that might not otherwise exist. I use a client-centered approach, providing a safe space for vulnerability, honesty, and growth.
