Shantel is a Marriage and Family Therapy practicum student who believes that therapy should feel like a place to exhale. She is passionate about creating a space where clients feel emotionally safe, genuinely heard, and respected in their full experience. She approaches her work with warmth, curiosity, and deep compassion for the ways life, relationships, and past experiences shape who we become.
Shantel enjoys working with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating life transitions, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and the impact of stressful or painful experiences. She views people through a systemic and relational lens, recognizing that struggles rarely exist in isolation and are often connected to our relationships, environments, and personal histories.
As a developing therapist, Shantel strives to walk alongside her clients rather than “fix” them. She believes healing happens through meaningful connection, honest reflection, and learning to reconnect with one’s own inner voice. She is committed to offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients from diverse backgrounds can explore, heal, and grow at their own pace.
