About

"Often, we emphasize the joy that pregnancy and motherhood bring, but what if you feel the opposite? Are you struggling in your perinatal or postpartum journey? Hi there, I’m Shaquila. I am an LCSW specializing in life transitions, anxiety, women’s issues, and maternal mental health. I empower women of all backgrounds to overcome their past trauma to become the healthiest versions of themselves. I use a mix of conversation, mindfulness techniques, and spiritual practices to help you discover your strengths. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps toward change. I am here to support you on that journey.
