From a young age, I've always known that I wanted to work with people in the helping capacity; what better way to do this than by honoring people's stories in a therapeutic setting?
I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Psychology degree in 2012. While obtaining my Masters Degree in Psychology with emphasis in individual, marriage and family therapy, I taught middle school English and Science . In my final year of graduate school, I worked as an intern at a Psychiatric hospital for a year and upon graduation in 2016, I got hired as the unit therapist for the adolescent boys unit and later, the dual adult diagnosis unit where I was part of a multidisciplinary team caring for patients in our facility.
I enjoy working with adult clients to talk about everyday situations and happenstances and explore the personal and professional goals they want to work on. I also work with my clients by creating a safe space to talk about hard topics most people shy away from that eventually brings about beneficial ripple effects in different relationship dynamics and family conflict interactions.
Working with you as my client/s to provide couples, marriage or individual therapy would be my pleasure every session.

Shaii loves working with families in all stages of the life cycle and she also loves working with individuals, couples, and children. She prides herself on making sure each person feels valued and cared for in their own special way. There is no “cookie cutter” way of doing therapy, so she works with each client to develop an individualized treatment plan. The saying “progress, not perfection” is one of her favorite sayings because each day is a new start to make some progress to where you want to be and there is no such thing as being “perfect” anyway. Life can be filled with many beautiful things including marriage, babies, and big moves, but it can also be filled with lots of uncertainty. Sometimes when faced with not knowing what will come next, it is time to reach out and get a little extra support.
Seeking help does not make you weak; in fact, it makes you immensely strong. You need that strength in order to get through the difficult times in your life. Shaii is dedicated to helping her clients find their inner strength and walk alongside them in order to help them use that strength to get through the not so beautiful times in life.

Mine Counseling; this is your Session...
Are you seeking individual counseling, couples therapy, or marriage counseling? Everyone needs a safe place to tell their truth, even if it's not the "popular" story so they can be free to live their lives. Sometimes, a culturally sensitive, judgment free zone makes a big difference in bringing about the positive changes in our everyday lived experiences.
Mine Counseling is your session for you to be unapologetically you. It is a place where you get to be in the drivers seat and allow us the honor of being part of your unique journey.
Let us talk about family, friends, work, and relationships; we may also talk about life's challenges, triumphs and everything else in between. What does a healthy life/work balance looks like for you? Together, we can explore new endless possibilities and celebrate your successes.
