As a Healer, a Psychotherapist,since 2003, I do not claim to heal ,as healing happens when one aligns with the remembrance of who they truly are. I simply serve as a vessel for energies that are ancient & pure, and for guidance that flows from Divine through Stillness. As a psychotherapist, I walk beside you through the mind’s patterns and illusions, gently dissolving the beliefs and cycles that have kept you bound. This work honors the human path, with compassion, depth, & clarity ,while inviting you beyond it. As a messenger of divine downloads, I speak what is not learned but remembered. As a healer, I do subtle energetic work.

Hi, I'm Liane! My practice largely centers on helping people strengthen their relationship with themselves and others. Together, we can help you identify and overcome patterns that no longer serve you. Some of the topics that often come up in-session are boundary setting/assertiveness, nervous system regulation, communication skills, co-dependency, and perfectionism. I work with many people who are working through relational trauma (anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles). I can also support you in overcoming fears with exposure therapy. I have a holistic approach, incorporating both somatic work and talk therapy.

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.

While "trauma" may just sound like an empty buzzword, the truth is that once we have experienced it, it can consume almost every component of our lives. Our once enjoyable and fulfilling experiences appear to be a distant memory completely out of reach. Everyday life is now a struggle, our day-to-day goal is merely to survive. If this sounds in line with your past or current feelings then I am eager to work with you towards improving your quality of life. I am a compassionate and goal-driven psychotherapist dedicated to achieving gradual and yet profound improvement in your thoughts, feelings and beliefs.
