Hi, I'm Sheila! 

Change is attainable and I'm here to support you. I am empathetic and understanding, while also practical in my approach to address issues effectively. Together we can come up with plans to directly face your concerns and meet your desired goals. I am passionate in guiding clients in learning new methods and coping skills to find relief and improve their quality of life.

​

I have 14 years of experience in the mental health field. My specialty involves working with people who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, autism, behavior problems, and parenting concerns. I am passionate in supporting kids, teens, and adults in using their strengths and values to meet their goals.

​

Seeking therapy can be difficult, but you don't have to do this alone. I'm ready to provide you a space to empower you to do this work in the comfort of our office or virtually from home. Let's get started!

When I'm Not Working 

When not in session I love spending time with my family, going to my dance class, or eating good sushi. I enjoy yoga, watching movies, and listening to music. I try to find every opportunity to create art, take pictures, and walk outside.
