My style of therapy is empathic, supportive, and strengths-based. I see you as an expert in your own experience and a valuable partner in our process together.

My approach is grounded in trauma-informed care with a deep respect for each client’s unique story.
Hello, my name is Kashada! As it’s all of our first time being human, I believe we’re bound to face moments of uncertainty, whether it’s around identity, relationships, family dynamics, or major life transitions. My clients are often searching for clarity, emotional relief, and a space where they can feel genuinely seen. I value working with people who are ready to explore their inner world, let go of what no longer serves them, and reconnect with their most grounded, authentic self. You deserve care, connection, and healing, and I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

My specialties include individuals struggling with anxiety and mood disorders, trauma, substance abuse, relationship difficulties, career and life transitions, creative blocks, loss and bereavement, identity confusion and low self-esteem, and chronic medical and pain conditions (i.e., HIV/AIDS, HCV, fibromyalgia, etc.), as well as work with identified populations (LGBTQ and performing artists).
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment"~ Emerson. It is often our own insecurities that prevent us from achieving our optimal potential. I believe we all have an inherent capacity for change and growth. Within the collaborative therapeutic space, clients can begin their journey of self-discovery and emotional healing as they work to overcome personal obstacles. My practice is demographically diverse with treatment tailored to the uniqueness of the individual and sensitive to issues of culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation/identity, disability, religion/spirituality, socioeconomic status and presenting condition.

When healing trauma, simply putting things into words is not sufficient and could in fact be triggering.
I also use Art Therapy to help clients access parts of themselves that cannot be easily described with verbal language. Art Therapy in combination with body-based methods also serves well in treatment of creative blocks among artists and other people working in various creative fields.

I am a trauma specialist, with extensive training and experience helping people find healing after suffering.
I approach our work together from a psychodynamic perspective, meaning that we will focus on more fully understanding yourself and your motivations. The premise of this work posits that we are only partly conscious of what drives our feelings and actions, and that a deeper exploration and understanding will help to alleviate painful symptoms.

I specialize in treating addiction and have advanced training in EMDR to support healing from trauma.
Is it time for a change? Do you feel depressed, anxious, stuck, or angry? Do past experiences negatively impact the present? Do you need a safe place to feel listened to and supported? At times, we all find ourselves feeling lost and afraid. Things in our lives may not be going in a desired way or we may find that we come up against the same issues time and again. Life can sometimes be overwhelming and painful. You may feel like things will never get better or that change is out of reach. I believe that the trials of life can be tremendous opportunities for growth.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety or trauma.
You are whole. You are worthy. You are welcome here. Sometimes life feels overwhelming, scary, and messy. You don't have to walk through the fire alone. There can be no change without awareness.

My approach to therapy is humanistic, relational, compassion-focused, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed, integrating elements of psychoanalysis, narrative therapy, internal family systems (IFS), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), as well as expressive therapies such as drama therapy and psychodrama.
Has your journey through life involved loss or adversity that's left you feeling hopeless or overwhelmed? After over 20 years exploring the human experience through the performing arts, my own journey led me to social work and psychotherapy. I've come to learn that no human life can be summed up in a label or a diagnosis; like any compelling character, our stories are nuanced and layered, shaped by personal, social, environmental, and historical factors. It can be lot to make sense of on our own. But making sense of our story and telling it to a receptive listener can be a powerfully healing experience.
