Welcome—I'm truly glad you're here. Welcome to the journey of counseling. Stepping into therapy is a powerful act of care, and I’m honored to support you as you navigate the storms of life—whether they involve career transitions, the weight of generational expectations, or the pursuit of emotional and financial stability. Many of us carry invisible loads: the responsibilities, expectations, and unspoken pressures that others may not see but that shape our daily lives. In our work together, you won’t have to carry those alone.
Hi, I’m Shakenna.
My Approach
I became a mental health counselor because I am deeply passionate about empowering individuals, particularly women balancing ambition, family, leadership, and legacy-building. My professional background includes years of supporting women entrepreneurs, leading programs that elevate women in business, and creating initiatives that help women access resources, confidence, and community. These experiences have shown me that true wellness involves closing the gaps between where you are and where you want to be—and having a space where your challenges are understood without explanation.
I am especially passionate about working with women, entrepreneurs, and young adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, burnout, leadership stress, or the complexities of family-owned business dynamics. With a doctorate in Organization and Management and extensive experience mentoring women across the globe, I love helping clients resolve “old wounds,” make sense of their current transitions, and build the “DNA” of resilience that supports their future. I value diversity of thought and provide a space where your unique viewpoint is respected as we work toward your goals
If you think we might be a good fit, I’d love to set up a time to talk before our first session. You can ask questions about my counseling style, my background supporting women and entrepreneurs, or anything else you’d find helpful. I’ll also send you initial paperwork so you can get a sense of the process. Use the contact form to get started. All the best.
