Hi! I'm Shala, a board-certified PMHNP, specializing in personalized taper programs for benzos and other psych meds, augmented with therapy and wellness coaching. I treat adolescents, teens, and adults in overcoming anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I use psychotherapy, medication management, and LENS Neurofeedback in my practice. I am also a member of the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition (BIC).
I believe in a holistic approach, prioritizing medical ketosis, fasting, and considering medication if needed, always with your informed consent. Our sessions will uncover the root causes of your struggles so we can tailor effective solutions together. You'll find in me an empathetic listener, a knowledgeable guide, and a constant advocate for your healing.
I understand the complexities of anxiety and depression. As your mental health guide, I am here to listen, support, and empower you. We'll uncover the hidden causes and build your inner strength, one step at a time. You're not alone in this, and together, we'll rediscover the healing power within you. Contact me today and find the support you deserve!
