Overview

I’m Shayne, a Licensed Master Social Worker. I create a safe and nurturing space where healing feels authentic and relatable, rather than clinical. My work is centered around supporting Black Transmasc individuals, but I welcome anyone seeking a therapist who embodies authenticity and empathy. I bring honesty, warmth, and cultural awareness into the therapeutic environment, providing tools that cater to your unique needs, whether it’s managing daily stressors, navigating identity, or addressing deeper emotional challenges. Therapy with me is not about achieving perfection; it’s about building trust, honoring your journey, and moving forward at your own pace.

I am licensed master social worker (#26696), currently practicing under the supervision of Stephanie Brown-Gilbert, LCSW-C (#18387).
