Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

Do you feel anxious? Overwhelmed? Sad? Dr. Shaye works in a brief-therapy model to ensure that you see your feelings and situations change quickly. She provide a type of therapy that quickly promotes healthy relationships, decreases anxiety, and soothes depression. Additionally, you gain insight into your thoughts and actions and will get to know yourself better. Resulting in self-awareness that leads to feelings of self-control of moods, actions, and day-to-day interactions.

Secondly, Dr. Shaye gives you tools to reduce tension, stress, guilt, muscle aches, stomach upset, sleeplessness through simple coping mechanisms paired with changing core thought processes. You can start building a new way of thinking and a new way to experience the world.

I welcome diversity of all types (gender, age, culture, sexual orientation, etc.) and I make sure that all individuals know the value and strengths they uniquely posses. Therapy is not about "changing" who you are but about making you the "best you".
