MS, LMFTA

Shae (she/her/hers) is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate in the state of North Carolina. Originally from Illinois, she moved to North Carolina to complete her master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from East Carolina University. As a relational therapist, she believes that we find the most meaning in life through our relationships with other people. She also believes that these relationships can also cause problems and pain. Shae’s passion is to help clients and couples heal the pain and work through the problems so that we can get back to joyful, meaningful relationships.

Shae’s main approach to therapy draws from Emotion Focused Therapy, which looks at how we bond with the people we are close to, especially our romantic partners, as well as how negative communication patterns impact our relationships. She also pulls from Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. Shae strives to create a safe space for couples and individuals to explore their emotions, create vulnerability, and promote change. She believes that empathy and trust are the core of the therapeutic relationship, and employs a nonjudgmental, collaborative approach so that therapist and clients can work together to achieve their goals.

In her two years of practice, Shae has gained experience working with adolescents, young adults, adults, and couples. She has also had exposure to a wide variety of presenting problems such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, family of origin issues, and several different relationship issues. Shae is particularly passionate about working with couples, especially neurodiverse couples and couples who identify as being part of the LGBTQ+ community. Shae knows and understands that during these certain times, having a safe person to turn to is incredibly important. She prides herself on creating a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community, as well as all other minority communities.

Outside of the therapy room, Shae is a big nerd at heart. In her spare time she enjoys watching the latest Marvel and Star Wars shows and movies, building Legos, and playing video games with her partner.
