Shanti Counseling

Hello! I identify as a mindfulness-based psychotherapist and have been studying and practicing Middle Eastern philosophy/meditation for a decade. For me, this has become the foundation for which I work with clients. I am credentialed as both a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), having provided individual and group psychotherapy since 2008. I also am an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS). I love supervising and providing consultation for aspiring clinicians! I am also a Reiki practioner (RP).

I describe my style as relational and attachment-based. I strongly ascribe to both behavioral and spiritual modalities that emphasize the importance of cultivating connection to Self, others, and the world around us. This kind of work helps us achieve a greater sense of clarity, meaning, and ultimately, desired change. Whether people are pursuing therapy to clarify decision-making, learn new coping strategies, or resolve complex symptoms and adverse experiences, we will work as a team while pondering life’s joys and difficulties. I provide gentle inquiry to join in the process that unfolds. I am very grateful to be a witness to so many tender stories and am here to help all those that knock on my door. I am an advocate for the LGBTQIA population and BIPOC. I strive to provide an inclusive space reinforced by cultural humility.
