She works with young adults and adults to manage issues like depression, anxiety, ADHD, stress, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and self-esteem.

Shakarla believes in celebrating daily victories as important steps toward achieving larger life goals. Seeking therapy can be tough but also the start of a transformative journey worth the time and effort. Shakarla looks forward to meeting you and helping you reach your treatment goals.

"As a Black Christian woman, I understand the challenges of breaking through cognitive barriers to embrace your worth and feel empowered to create the life you deserve."
