Hi there, I'm Shauna!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps adults manage anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and life stressors. I use a collaborative, evidence-based approach, including EMDR, CBT, and DBT, to help you feel more balanced, resilient, and confident.

My focus

I work best with adults who are experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma-related symptoms, relationship stress, or major life transitions. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who manage work, family, and responsibilities well on the outside but feel stressed, anxious, or exhausted internally.

My approach

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing openly and working at a pace that feels manageable. I believe therapy should be both a place for emotional support and a space for learning practical tools
