Hi there, I'm Shawn!

Healing isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about reconnecting with your natural resilience and reclaiming your wholeness. Whether you're processing past wounds or exploring new ways of living, I'm here to walk alongside you with respect and care.

My focus

I work with people who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, body image, self esteem, and challenging life transitions. Many of my clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Together, we create a plan for healing, clarity, and deeper self-connection.

My approach

My approach is trauma-informed and rooted in social justice values. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Behavioral Activation, CBT, DBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused therapy, and Harm Reduction—alongside psychoeducation and nervous system work.
