She works primarily with teens, adults, and couples, with a particular attunement to women and to those carrying wounds from faith communities that were supposed to be safe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">She specializes in working with:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\">\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Individuals dealing with grief, loss, and major life transitions<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Those experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Individuals exploring their life story and growing in awareness of patterns, meaning, and purpose<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Women facing personal, relational, and spiritual challenges across different seasons of life<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Clients working through cross-cultural identity, belonging, and adjustment<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Second-generation and bicultural individuals navigating questions of identity and voice<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Students and professionals seeking clarity in academic, career, or vocational transitions<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Individuals processing church hurt, spiritual wounding, or painful ministry experiences<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Clients seeking spiritual formation and deeper integration of faith in everyday life<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Couples navigating relational challenges and emotional disconnection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>How She Works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Sheena&#8217;s approach is collaborative, holistic, and genuinely tailored to each person. She integrates evidence-based practices through a trauma-informed lens, shaping every aspect of her care and creating a space where clients can explore their stories, process difficult experiences, and move toward healing at their own pace. She brings both analytical precision and relational warmth into the room: a combination that comes naturally from a life lived between two very different professional worlds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Her Story<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Before entering the counseling field, Sheena spent years working in Information Technology and Cybersecurity. She valued the analytical thinking and problem-solving that work required, but she felt a growing pull toward something more relational: toward sitting with people in their complexity rather than solving systems. That pull eventually became a calling she could not ignore, and she left a successful career to pursue it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">As a second-generation Indian American, Sheena carries a lived understanding of navigating questions of identity, belonging, and voice across cultural boundaries. She knows what it is like to hold two worlds at once and to quietly wonder where you fully belong in either of them. That understanding shapes the empathy, curiosity, and acceptance she brings to clients exploring those same questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Her years in ministry settings have also given her an honest awareness of both the beauty and the brokenness that can exist within faith communities. She is especially attuned to those who have been hurt by the very communities that were supposed to offer safety, and she holds that experience with particular care. Through years of mentoring and group leadership, she has built a consistent track record of creating spaces where people feel safe enough to be honest and move toward genuine wholeness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Education and Training<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\">\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">MA in Mental Health Counseling, Trinity International University<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">MS in Information Systems, DePaul University<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">BBA, Loyola University Chicago<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">National Certified Counselor (NCC)<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Certificate in Christian Studies, Trinity International University<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Women in Leadership Certificate, Cornell University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>A Little More About Sheena<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Outside of sessions, Sheena is a wife and mother who finds restoration in time with family and friends, good books, travel, and creating beautiful things.
