You are not too much.
You have just been holding too much.
Attachment-centered therapy for high-achieving women and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, and burnout, ready to stop performing to belong and come home to themselves.
You've been strong for a long time. Not because you wanted to be. Because somewhere along the way, you learned that being needed meant you were worth keeping.
So you kept showing up, for everyone but yourself. And somewhere in all of that doing, you lost the thread back to you.
This is where that changes.
Shift Happens with Shay is a boutique practice for high-achieving women and couples ready to stop self-abandoning and start coming home to themselves. Through attachment-centered, somatic, narrative, and EMDR therapy, we do the deep, intentional work of rebuilding self-trust, at a pace that honors your nervous system.
I will catch you until you can see yourself again.
You are the woman I built this practice for.
Not "you might be." Not "if this resonates." You.
Capable, driven, and outwardly successful, yet inwardly worn, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. You're tired of performing to belong.
Ready to understand, process, and dismantle the patterns and beliefs that have shaped your nervous system and relationships, not just vent without movement.
Open to reflection, emotional honesty, and rebuilding trust with yourself, even when the process feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar.
Also welcome: couples experiencing quiet disconnection, and men who resonate with this depth-oriented, trauma-informed approach to burnout and relational patterns.
Depth-oriented care, held at your pace.
Private pay. No insurance. No diagnosis dictated by a claims form.

Healing here is relational.
People are needed during the journey back to wholeness. I believe you are the expert in your life. My role is not to direct from the front, but to sit alongside you, slowing things down so we can notice the patterns you may have learned to drive past.
My style is warm, engaged, and grounded. I integrate trauma-informed, attachment-based, and narrative approaches, with a strong emphasis on nervous system awareness and inner child healing. Sessions are collaborative, reflective, and paced with care.
