Hello!
My name is Shima.
I'm an LMSW with a Master's in Social Work from UGA and a Certified Financial Social Worker. I work with folks, especially Black and Caribbean women, dealing with generational trauma, money stress, and patterns that need to change.
Healing looks different for everyone. I'm warm but direct in sessions, I'll affirm what you're experiencing and gently push back on patterns that aren't serving you. You'll leave with actual clarity or a concrete next step.
I use CBT, somatic and parts work, narrative therapy, solution-focused work, and trauma-specific modalities. I help you understand the stories you've been told about yourself and the ones you've internalized, so you can rewrite them.
I do individual therapy for generational trauma, emotional regulation, money stress, relationship patterns, and breaking cycles. I also do couples work around money and relationships, helping partners actually talk about finances without it becoming conflict.
People who get the most out of working with me are ready to examine their upbringing and generational patterns. I center work with Black and Caribbean women, because I am one, but my approach resonates with anyone committed to real healing work.
You're the expert on your own life. Healing isn't about performing or holding it together—it's about your actual well-being. I honor the cultural, generational, and identity stuff you bring into the room because that matters.
I grew up in the vibrant West Indies 🇯🇲✊🏾. When I'm not in session, I'm in my garden, doing DIY projects, and upcycling vintage furniture. I love creating and digging in the soil!
