Are you seeking an evaluation re: IVF, IUI, surrogacy, or adoption?
Welcome! "What happens TO us sometimes happens FOR us" is a thought-provoking perspective that I weave into my treatment work. We'll explore your life's wins, losses, successes, failures, hopes, regrets, beginnings, middles, & ends. We'll figure out what adjustments are needed & what can stay the same. Most people come to therapy knowing they want to feel, think, or act differently but HOW to do this & WHAT happens if we do this is a common stuck-point because we know how to suffer, but the unknown of what it's like to suffer less (or not at all) can activate fear. So, we figure it out here! It takes time & effort, but we do it.

Autism is not a medical condition needing "treatment." Rather, it is an opportunity to work intensively on personal growth starting with the child's diagnosis, and then extending to the family, the professionals, schools, communities and finally the governments.

Being a teen girl is tough! Raising a teen girl can be even tougher. Anxiety, depression, identity issues, peer relations, academic stress, and outside pressures can leave teen girls needing increased support just as many are beginning to pull away from their parents to develop their own passions and purpose. Parents often find themselves feeling like an outsider as their teen daughters suddenly begin to turn to peers, friends, and social media for advice and guidance instead of mom or dad. This can lead to increased family conflict as parents and teens struggle to communicate with each other and find common ground.

Is your adolescent struggling in school? Are you having difficulty keeping his/her behavior under control? Is your child acting differently (isolating themselves, arguing more than usual, avoiding peers, self-harming)? Are you struggling with a divorced or blended family situation? I would love to be able to help you, your child, and your family. I have been working with at-risk, troubled youth and their families for over 20 years. This includes working closely with the school, juvenile system, and medical practitioners, as well.

Hi, I'm Shawna. Life can become overwhelming when anxiety, trauma, or painful experiences begin shaping how you see yourself and the world. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, constantly on edge, disconnected from yourself, or carrying shame that doesn't belong to you. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to understand those patterns, heal from the past, and move toward the life you want to live. You don't have to navigate it alone, and meaningful, lasting change is possible.

My ideal client is someone who wants to actively pursue new paths to find their true, healthy self. Ideally, ready to do the work. I am here to challenge cognitive distortions. I will be a partner in brainstorming issues and goals. Hard work from the client and support from an intuitive counselor will clear the path to the answers within.

I see myself as a mirror, reflecting back what my clients already know about themselves. I aim to create a supportive, encouraging, and validating space, while also challenging you to move forward. Most clients come to see me because they have lost their way and need help looking inward. I believe that every person already knows the way back home to themselves. My clients need help to shed the layers of pain and suffering to remember who they are. I look forward to guiding you back to your center, your knowing, and your light.

My ideal client is ready for some change. My ideal client is open to ideas and willing to give input. I love working with (newly coupled), pre-marital couples and with the empty-nesting couples...and everything in between. I'm also drawn to those who just want to keep a good check on their relationship as it goes. As well, I work with couples experiencing some bumps in their journey and couples navigating new life paths. I like to see people willing to try something new as Brainspotting is really taking off. I have also found that I am a good match with the 30+ crowd, especially those who are not 100% sold on therapy yet.
