Introduction

Hi! I'm Shani (she/her/hers) and I'm so glad you're here! I'm a dog-loving, coffee-drinking, adventure-seeking, queer, neurodivergent (ADHD), white woman. I with adults across the lifespan and couples, and I'm particularly passionate about working with my LGBTQIA+ communities, those exploring their identity, and people navigating major life changes. I deeply value my clients' trust in allowing me in to their lives. My style is warm, non-judgmental, and approachable. I invite you to show up to our work just as you are - fully, unapologetically, and without filter. I practice with sex-positive, body-positive lenses and constantly work to incorporate values of decolonization, anti-racism, and fat liberation into my work. The foundation of that work is the development of strong therapeutic relationships with my clients and creating a sense of safety. I value authenticity, laughter, and honesty. My clients and I laugh in sessions. A lot. We keep it real. We swear. We share a space that has a come as you are vibe and is welcoming no matter where you're at. The world is an absolute dumpster fire, let's be real, but you don't have to go it alone. Grab a cozy drink, get comfy, and let's do it. You got this, I got you.
