About Me

Shambria is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) since July 2023 whose goal is to create a safe space for her clients to thrive and embrace their healing journey. Shambria understands that taking the first step in your therapeutic journey can be overwhelming; therefore, she prioritizes creating a safe and comfortable space. She works with teens and young adults, providing a safe, affirming, non-judgmental space for healing and support.

Shambria is the co-founder of Mind Over Matter Wellness and Consulting, where she practices as a somatic-based therapist. Her approach as a humanistic, mindful, and somatic therapist is to create an environment where you feel empowered to tackle life challenges by integrating the body into the therapeutic process. Shambria is an honest therapist who practices empathy, patience, and compassion.

Shambria has extensive experience working with clients from various cultural, spiritual, and religious backgrounds. She specializes in individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma that may manifest as people-pleasing tendencies, perfectionism, or poor boundaries. She specializes in Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapy.

Shambria also supports clients living with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), a cyclical condition in which hormonal shifts during the luteal phase can bring on intense mood changes, irritability, anxiety, depression, and feelings of overwhelm that can disrupt relationships, work, and daily life. She understands how isolating PMDD can feel, especially for clients whose symptoms have been dismissed or minimized as "just PMS." Shambria helps clients track and recognize their cycle-related patterns, build nervous system regulation skills through somatic and mindfulness-based practices, and use CBT tools to navigate the difficult thoughts and emotions that can surface during symptomatic weeks. Together, she and her clients create a plan that honors the body's rhythms, strengthens self-compassion, and helps them feel more prepared and empowered throughout every phase of their cycle. She also collaborates with clients' medical providers when helpful, recognizing that PMDD care is often most effective when it's holistic.

Shambria is a Certified Brainspotting Therapist. Trauma and stress can impact different areas of our brain at the subcortical level. Brainspotting engages these subcortical parts of the brain, which also connect with our nervous system network, to help process emotions that may be stuck within us. Shambria is also certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based psychotherapy used to alleviate symptoms related to trauma, anxiety, and many other mental health disorders.

In her spare time, Shambria enjoys riding horses, traveling, and spending time outdoors.

Shambria is currently accepting new clients.
