Shonda is an outstanding therapist! In addition to her overall expertise, she is encouraging, nurturing, and supportive. I came to her after enduring significant loss, and Shonda helped me through the most challenging period of my life. I would not have surfaced from the depth of grief and loss I was experiencing without her help. If you are looking for a safe and authentic counseling experience, I highly recommend Shonda for your counseling needs.

As soon as I had my first meeting with Shonda, I knew I wanted to work with her. She’s incredibly intelligent, honest, and compassionate. She truly wants you to grow and will work with you through exercises and readings to delve thoroughly into the issues you want to focus on. She does both in-person and virtual sessions. I’ve referred her to many others and will continue to do so. She’s truly a blessing and a standout in her field.

A great space to be vulnerable enough to explore your inner self. Discovering more of how my behavior and thoughts are cultivated from trauma, strengths, culture, family, and religion. Rebuilding my identity is difficult, and with Shonda, I feel it is achievable.
