Shaq has over 5 years of experience working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and behavior interventionist, supporting individuals with behavioral, developmental, and emotional needs. She recently earned her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Hawaii Pacific University, and her background has strengthened her passion for mental health, emotional well-being, and helping individuals build the skills they need to thrive in everyday life. Her doctoral capstone focused on mental health disparities in marginalized rural communities, deepening her commitment to making mental health support more accessible, compassionate, and meaningful.
Shaq helps patients grow by building trusting relationships, recognizing their individual strengths, and creating meaningful goals that support their independence. She leads with compassion, patience, and an open mind to create a safe and welcoming environment where individuals and families feel heard, supported, and understood without judgment. Outside of work, she enjoys living in Las Vegas, spending quality time with her husband and son, and finding ways to stay grounded spiritually.
