I work with both individuals and couples .
I believe that we each have an innate wisdom and a core self or spirit that strives for joy, peace and fulfillment. Despite this, we can often become overwhelmed with difficult emotions and feel stuck in ways of being which do not serve us. I embrace the learnings from my Spiritual Psychotherapy & Spiritual Direction training as well as my intuitive energy training. I adopt an eclectic approach which combines traditional talk therapy with spiritual practices . I view healing as a journey of self-discovery and increased awareness which takes one to a deeper place of understanding of self and greater mind-body spirit connectedness

I hope that our relationship can be a safe place for you to land.
I work with individuals and people in all types of relationships. People come to therapy for different reasons. Sometimes it’s about having a non-judgmental space to process feelings, reactions, and ways of moving forward. Sometimes it’s about exploring and changing patterns that aren’t working so well in relationships. Sometimes it’s about being witnessed in something challenging you’ve been through.

Depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, unresolved grief, work-related problems, phobias, and stress are among the most common symptoms that I address. Of particular interest to me (and my specialized training) is to go beyond only treating the presenting symptoms and to discover and address what has caused them to occur. Both in my work experience and in my training I have learned that symptoms typically diminish using various forms of psychotherapy. However, unless the underlying causes are understood and resolved the gains are not usually sustained. Over time symptoms tend to reemerge.

My belief is that a nurturing and safe therapy relationship allows folks to become more self-aware, more self-accepting, and more intentional about the way they live their lives.
There are so many reasons why you might be thinking about therapy and I am so pleased you landed here. Maybe you’ve noticed a habit of getting in your own way when it comes personal or professional goals, or maybe you've been feeling anxious or down but unsure why; maybe unresolved memories or feelings have been intruding into your present, or maybe you don't quite feel how you would like to feel about yourself at this point in your life. I can help you make sense of these experiences and make the changes you want. Together we will build on your strengths, learn new coping skills, and work towards a more fulfilling life for you.

Are you feeling disconnected to yourself, loved ones, or society? Do you question whether you are a good father, son, or partner ? Do you feel angry, stuck, overwhelmed, powerless, guilty, or "not normal". Many men struggle with their mental health without seeking help or reaching out for support. Often, this struggle may lead to addiction, anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, suicidal ideation, poor relationships, grief, low self-esteem, or low self-worth. First Step Men's Therapy offers a safe, warm, and inviting space for men to heal, learn, and grow. You are not alone, and we are here to help support you on your journey.

My approach is empathetic and analytic. I listen and you describe your emotional distress and current situation.

I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing life transitions, challenges, pain and suffering.
I am Shawna - a passionate and innovative therapist who believes strong mental health is rooted in resilience and connection. Having worked exclusively with young cancer patients and their families over the past decade helped me realize that emotional pain and resilience are not mutually exclusive experiences - they live together. Through the process of recognizing and experiencing our deepest pain, fear and longing we can become better versions of ourselves. My style is empathic, intuitive, and interactive, and I uncover and guide my clients to use their untapped strengths, resilience, and potential for connection in their lives.

I work with a variety of couples and individual clients in my practise, with a range of concerns including; depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, relationship problems, life changes, trauma recovery and PTSD.
If you choose to work with me I will strive to create a safe, respectful and meaningful relationship with you. I will listen carefully, with empathy and without judgement. Sometimes I ask a lot of questions in order to understand, to the best of my ability, what things are like for you. In working together to help me understand your story, usually what happens is that things start to make more sense for you too. Confusion often gives way to clarity. Feelings such as anxiety, anger, depression and isolation often subside as well.

From individual development through couples counselling through specialized treatment for PTSD, we'll work to find the best solution for you.
We've all felt stuck, frustrated, worried or like we are spinning out of control at one time or another. And sometimes we feel so... alone. You know there's more to you than meets the eye, if only someone could see it. Do you have this nagging intuition that what you want is just out of reach -- a better self-image, a better relationship or a better life? I'd like to help.

As life unfolds, we face challenges that require us to adjust and adapt. Therapy can help us gain a clearer understanding of the obstacles and learn new ways of overcoming them to create the life that we want. I work with individuals who are struggling with low mood, anxiety, stress, grief, anger, relationship issues, low self esteem and self-criticism, among others. In sessions, I strive to provide a safe, inclusive, and compassionate environment to explore difficult or painful thoughts and feelings, to gain a greater sense of clarity and to feel empowered to change the things that are limiting your connection to self and others.

Couples Counselling

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
