Hi there, I'm Shawn!

The decision to begin therapy is the first step to shedding those unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of having a great relationship with yourself!

My focus

If you experience self-doubt, fear of setting boundaries with others, anxiety, or emotional distress in any form, we can work together to shift perspective and get to the root of those negative thought patterns and behaviors. I work with clients aged 12 and up, with the primary focus being on trauma work.

My approach

My approach is client-centered, providing DBT tools for emotional regulation, challenging unhelpful thinking patterns, along with empathetic, reflective listening. My goal is to create a safe environment for you to process past trauma, work through current distress, and bring hope and happiness back into your life.

My communication style

I employ a warm and comforting environment and demeanor. It is common for me to use metaphors to illustrate patterns and shift perspective. Reflective listening and accurate empathy to build rapport and trust at the beginning of treatment are the primary goals. Concrete tools are introduced when the client is ready.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been interested in the healing fields, both body and mind. It was a long journey to my true calling as a therapist.

My goals for you

I use a combination of approaches to tailor treatment to the client and presenting issues. I am primarily client-centered and humanistic; skills-based tools are introduced once primary issues are identified. I emphasize using the right tool for each situation.

Our first session

The first session will be a combination of addressing the reason you decided to begin therapy now and exploring some family history. This is primarily a time to begin building rapport and trust before delving into any deeper issues. You set the pace in the beginning! I want to create a comfortable environment where you feel safe and supported.
