Hi, I'm Shaye. I founded Cactus Counseling because I know how hard it can be to face your past trauma and feel at odds with your own body. My heart's work is in helping cycle breakers—people like you who are ready to break free from generational patterns and past pain.
I became a therapist because I’ve been where you are, and I get it. I approach this work with authenticity and compassion, fusing evidence-based care with holistic practices because I believe in healing the whole person, not just the symptoms.
My goal is to see you for who you are—not just the challenges you face—and to provide a safe, grounded space where you can finally release what's been holding you back.
