Hi, I’m Shandra.

I believe genuine healing begins when you feel seen, respected, and safe enough to be honest.

I provide evidence-based therapy informed by specialized training and lived experience with ADHD and mood disorders. My style is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded. Together, we’ll identify patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop coping skills that fit your life—not someone else’s.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and elders. Every session is paced with care, with space for your experiences, identity, and strengths.

How I can help

Mental Health Conditions and Concerns We Support

At Healing for Inner Peace LLC, we understand that emotional and mental health challenges can affect every part of a person’s life. Therapy is provided in a compassionate and nonjudgmental environment where clients can better understand their experiences, strengthen coping skills, and work toward meaningful change.

01

ADHD & Executive-Functioning Difficulties

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder can affect attention, organization, memory, time management, impulse control, task completion, and emotional regulation. Adults with ADHD may feel overwhelmed, inconsistent, misunderstood, or highly self-critical. Therapy can help clients understand how their brain works, reduce shame, create practical systems, and build strategies that fit their individual needs.

Build practical systems, understand your brain, and move through life with more self-trust.

02

Trauma and Post Tramatic Stress Disorder

Trauma can continue affecting a person long after a distressing experience has ended. Symptoms may include intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance, emotional numbness, shame, hypervigilance, irritability, or feeling unsafe even when danger is no longer present. Trauma-informed therapy helps clients build safety, improve emotional regulation, understand trauma responses, and move toward healing at a manageable pace.

Move at a grounded, supported pace as we make sense of the past and create more safety in the present.

03

Eating disorders & body image

Eating disorders and disordered eating can involve restriction, binge eating, purging, intense food rules, fear of weight changes, compulsive exercise, or distress about body image. These concerns are serious and may affect both emotional and physical health. Therapy can address underlying emotions, strengthen coping skills, reduce harmful behaviors, and support collaboration with medical, nutritional, or higher-level treatment providers when needed.

Find compassionate support for your relationship with food, your body, and yourself.

04

Anxiety

Anxiety may involve persistent worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, sleep disruption, or feeling as though something bad is about to happen. Therapy can help clients recognize anxiety patterns, understand their triggers, develop calming strategies, and respond to uncertainty with greater confidence.

Understand the patterns beneath emotional overwhelm and develop tools that work in real life.

05

Depression

Depression can affect mood, energy, motivation, sleep, appetite, concentration, relationships, and a person’s ability to enjoy life. It may feel like sadness, emptiness, irritability, hopelessness, or emotional numbness. Therapy provides space to explore contributing factors, challenge unhelpful patterns, rebuild daily functioning, and reconnect with hope and purpose.

Create space for loss, change, and the uncertainty that comes with becoming someone new.

06

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a treatable mental health condition involving significant changes in mood, energy, activity, sleep, judgment, and functioning. These changes may include depressive episodes as well as manic or hypomanic episodes. Therapy can support mood awareness, early identification of warning signs, healthy routines, relationship stability, coping skills, and coordination with medication-management providers when appropriate.

Strengthen communication, honor your needs, and build healthier ways of connecting.

07

Complex Trauma

Complex trauma may develop after repeated, prolonged, or interpersonal experiences of harm, instability, neglect, or abuse. It can influence self-worth, emotional regulation, trust, boundaries, identity, and relationships. Therapy focuses on increasing safety and stability while helping clients understand survival responses and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Understand the patterns beneath emotional overwhelm and develop tools that work in real life.

08

Grief and Loss

Grief can follow the death of a loved one, the ending of a relationship, changes in health, loss of employment, relocation, or another major life transition. There is no single correct way to grieve. Therapy offers a supportive place to process emotions, adjust to change, preserve meaningful connections, and move forward without minimizing what has been lost.

Create space for loss, change, and the uncertainty that comes with becoming someone new.

09

Relationship and Attachment Concerns

Past experiences can influence how people experience trust, closeness, conflict, rejection, and emotional safety. Relationship concerns may include difficulty setting boundaries, fear of abandonment, repeated unhealthy patterns, reassurance seeking, or challenges communicating needs. Therapy can help clients understand these patterns and develop healthier, more secure relationships.

Strengthen communication, honor your needs, and build healthier ways of connecting.

10

Stress and Life Transitions

Major changes involving work, school, parenting, relationships, housing, health, or identity can become emotionally overwhelming. Even positive transitions may create uncertainty and stress. Therapy can help clients organize their thoughts, clarify priorities, strengthen coping skills, and make decisions that align with their needs and values.

Understand the patterns beneath emotional overwhelm and develop tools that work in real life.

11

Self-Esteem & Personal Growth

Low self-esteem may involve persistent self-criticism, difficulty accepting positive feedback, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or believing one’s needs are less important than the needs of others. Therapy can help clients recognize their strengths, challenge harmful beliefs, practice healthier boundaries, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

Create space for loss, change, and the uncertainty that comes with becoming someone new.

12

Anger & Emotional Regulation

Strong emotions can become difficult to manage when they build quickly or feel overwhelming. Clients may experience irritability, impulsive reactions, shutdowns, conflict, or regret after emotional situations. Therapy can help identify triggers, recognize early warning signs, communicate emotions more effectively, and practice skills for responding rather than reacting.

Strengthen communication, honor your needs, and build healthier ways of connecting.

13

Substance Use and Recovery Support

Substance use may begin as an attempt to cope with stress, trauma, difficult emotions, or other mental health symptoms. Therapy can support clients who are considering change, actively working toward recovery, or maintaining sobriety. Treatment may focus on triggers, relapse-prevention strategies, emotional regulation, accountability, and rebuilding a meaningful life in recovery.

Understand the patterns beneath emotional overwhelm and develop tools that work in real life.
