About
Hi! I’m Shakera, a dual-certified family and psychiatric nurse practitioner and Beck Institute Certified Clinician in CBT. I help clients explore what’s underneath, with the goal of becoming your own therapist. You are the expert on you; we work as a team built on respect, validation, and compassion. As a prescriber, I can add non-controlled medications when needed — though therapy alone (like CBT-I) often matches medication outcomes. I’m also trained in CPT, Cognitive Therapy for PTSD, and EMDR, and love working with adults navigating complex trauma, depression, anxiety, panic, and OCD. All are welcome, including LGBTQIA+ clients and those who, like me, experience racism and racial trauma. I see adults 18+ via telehealth in 20+ states.
