Hi there, I'm Shawn!

I provide support to clients dealing with anxiety, depression, caregiver burnout, trauma, substance abuse, and day-to-day challenges. My love for helping people discover their inner strength led me to the field of therapy.

My focus

I tailor interventions to your unique needs and strengths, creating a supportive and collaborative environment. You'll develop practical tools to overcome challenges, build resilience, and achieve goals. I integrate structured techniques such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and problem-solving strategies.

My approach

My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps you recognize and transform unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Rather than only exploring the past, I emphasize the here and now. I help you identify current patterns, test new ways of thinking, and practice skills that lead to lasting change.
