Hi, I'm Shimeka, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience helping children, adolescents, couples, and families.

Using a holistic and psychodynamic approach informed by Jungian analysis, psychoanalysis, mindfulness, somatic awareness, EMDR, KAP, and the Enneagram, we’ll explore the layers of your psyche, the experiences in your body, address trauma (if it feels safe to), and create a therapeutic space that deepens your connection to yourself and others.
I help adults, couples, and teens feel better, less stuck, and more aligned in their careers, relationships, identities, and creative pursuits. My office is a judgment-free place to explore thoughts and feelings. Together we identify patterns and adaptations that no longer serve us. As we become less reactive, we find we have more agency in our lives. We communicate better with others, develop more meaningful relationships, and begin to live the lives we always dreamed of living.

I draw from existential, feminist, humanistic, Jungian, interpersonal, mindfulness-based, and transpersonal therapies, along with coaching tools when useful.
Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable adults who carry a great deal—professionally, financially, and at home—yet feel overwhelmed, reactive, disconnected, or unsure of what matters. They may understand their patterns in theory but find themselves overthinking, burning out, withdrawing, or repeating familiar dynamics. Many are working through trauma, a spiritual experience, or a life transition. I help them listen for the intelligence within these patterns, understand how mind, body, relationships, and environment interact, and translate insight into lived change—cultivating greater steadiness, freedom, connection, and purpose.

My clients are deep thinkers and feelers: musicians, bands, creative collaborators, couples building something together, as well as neurodivergent and highly sensitive people who have always felt things more intensely than the world around them. They come to me in life transitions, creative crossroads, and moments where old patterns have stopped working and something more authentic is trying to emerge. What they share is a hunger for depth: they want to understand themselves, and heal at the root of their suffering. They want to build a life, often a creative life, that actually feels like theirs.

Do you ever feel stuck in your head, with your thoughts overwhelming you and no sense of connection to your body? What if the root of your struggles lies in bridging the gap between your mind and body?
Your path to wholeness begins with mind-body connection. For example, your mind may feel overwhelmed with thoughts, meanwhile your body may feel heavy and lost. You may be experiencing physical manifestations of anxiety, such as biting your lip or fidgeting. If you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-worth challenges, premarital issues, or attachment struggles, therapy can offer reconnecting with yourself.

Early life experiences shape us in powerful ways. I help patients understand current patterns in the context of their past, thus allowing for greater fluidity, flexibility, and ultimately satisfaction. My approach relies primarily on somatic and psychoanalytic frameworks with an emphasis on dreamwork.

My work integrates evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and EMDR with depth-oriented and relational models including Jungian, Family Systems, Gestalt, IFS, and Humanistic therapies.
Let's go on an exploration that will lead to lasting and tangible positive change. It takes a lot of courage to do this, but it is often in the discomfort that we grow. I encourage you to call me for a free consultation and ask any questions you have about me or the therapy. I will want to know about your goals and what you are hoping for in a therapeutic relationship. My approach is eclectic, highlighted by depth psychology and systems thinking. I believe in a holistic and non-linear view of life that endorses compassion, curiosity, and also getting out of our comfort zones. Once there is trust between us, I will lovingly push you.

Are you stuck, unable to move forward in your life? I believe that we as human beings are resilient, and that, when we find ourselves stuck unable to move forward in our lives, it's important to seek guidance outside ourselves to unravel and breakfree from whatever is blocking our inner light. I am here to assist you to unravel and break free from whatever is blocking your inner light from shining.

I specialize in working with developmental trauma, complex PTSD, attachment disorders, OCD, co-dependence, anxiety, and depression. Feeling trapped, experiencing obsessive worry, the voice of the inner critic, or that sense of doom, can leave us feeling fragmented, split off, and dysregulated on the inside. Restoring emotional regulation, healing negative thought patterns, and improving healthy boundaries are often a focus of treatment. I believe the foundation of effective psychotherapy lies in a trusting relationship to foster and support growth and change.

You deserve an approach suited to your particular psyche, with space and empathy for your unique needs.

My clients show up wondering why anything beyond right now feels too overwhelming to plan, keep feeling disappointed in their relationships, or have spent so long accommodating everyone else they've lost track of who they are. You're not broken, you're responding to something. Together we figure out what that is, and learn from the shame around it. I work with people navigating relational trauma, identity, life transitions, and the complicated relationships we can develop with our bodies.

Jungian Therapists
How does Jungian therapy work?
Jungian therapy, also called analytical psychology, focuses on a patient’s inner experiences and unconscious mind. Exploring a person’s unconscious mind can be achieved through several means, including the analysis of memories and dreams, and through physical exercises, such as art, dance, and word association.
How long does Jungian therapy last?
Jungian therapy is an intensive treatment type. Because its goal is to understand a person as a whole, including the unconscious aspects of them, treatment can range from months to years. Since patients learn the theory behind Jungian therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have completed.
Is Jungian therapy effective?
According to studies, many patients find success with Jungian therapy, and the century-old treatment has a devoted following. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. Improvements in problem areas seem to continue even after the end of Jungian therapy, as people are able to continue working on themselves using the tools they’ve learned during the treatment.
Is Jungian therapy evidence-based?
Jungian therapy is theory-based, derived from the theories of Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist often called one of the fathers of psychology, along with Sigmund Freud. Jung developed his theories from observing the problems of patients, and developed many theories of how the mind works. Subsequent psychological research has determined that Jungian therapy can lead to significant improvement in most patients.
