Hi there, I'm Shawn!

My passion lies in helping individuals navigate life's transitions by building practical tools for resilience, anxiety, life transitions, and self-compassion. Together, we will create a tailored, non-judgmental space to explore your goals and turn challenges into opportunities for growth. My approach is collaborative, direct, and focused on you.

My focus

I encourage your input. We will regularly review our progress, treating therapy as a dynamic process that evolves as you do. I will help you identify the often hidden strengths you already possess and encourage you to use them. I hold you accountable to your own goals with kindness, reminding you of the strategies we've developed together.

My approach

I collaborate with the client to establish broad, meaningful goals, ensuring the client's preferences are prioritized. We will break down goals into Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound (SMART) objectives. Specify the therapeutic modalities to be used (e.g., CBT, motivational interviewing) and the frequency of sessions.
