VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Shawn!

My approach is to meet you where you are and help you get where you want to be. I work with adults and older adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I believe in creating a warm, collaborative space where we can explore what's bringing you to therapy and work together toward meaningful change.

My focus

I'm comfortable sitting with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. The emotions and thoughts connected to these experiences are valuable and important. My goal is to help you identify sources of these emotions, accept them, and develop helpful thought patterns so you don't feel stuck.

My approach

I'd describe my style as eclectic and person-centered. I use cognitive and behavioral approaches to help identify difficult emotions that may lead to ineffective behaviors, recognizing these behaviors serve a purpose. Together, we'll identify new behaviors that help you achieve your goals, testing different approaches until we find what works.
