As I walk along side with you, we can work towards a deeper wholeness; your own unique journey of purpose."

"As a woman, demands placed on you by family, friends, colleagues, employers - and yes, by yourself too - can create challenges in your everyday life. Low self-esteem...feeling that you're lost...or that you'll never be good enough...people-pleasing...feelings of rejection or abandonment...all these issues can eat away at your confidence. It can seem impossible to navigate through them especially when you feel you have no support. It doesn't have to be this way. With the loving support of a compassionate therapist, you can recapture a sense of hope and optimism in your life."

"Change is hard. Life not working is harder. A million experiences have brought you to today...the good, the tragic and the unimaginably lovely. Within your experience is potential for success however you define it and no matter your origin, religion/spirituality, sexual orientation, gender, race, IQ, body size, education. People want good in their lives but sometimes get lost along the way. It's part of being human. I understand that and have built my practice around compassionately normalizing human struggle and helping people create better lives using their commitment to change along with their values and strengths."

"When do you to take your car in for service? Warning lights or routine maintenance guide these decisions to keep our vehicles in optimal working condition. Without the required service, your vehicle will fail to operate. Relationships also stop working when we do not maintain them. Similar to vehicles, we often need additional assistance to get it up and running. Is your relationship due for a tune-up or a complete overhaul? Outside of a thorough assessment I will help individuals and couples navigate through their symptoms and relational stress by not only fostering insight, but encouraging an ability to tackle future obstacles."

"Hi, I'm Dr. Shona Palmer, and I'm so glad that your search for optimal health and well-being has led you here! I am passionate about helping you create a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life. After working as a psychologist for more than twenty years, I noticed that many clients arrived at my office with many aspects of their lives out of balance. If one system is out of balance, usually others are.

I have experience in treating a wide variety of problems especially mood, anxiety, impulse control and trauma. My therapy style is supportive yet challenging and direct as needed."

"Hope. A healing journey. Purpose. Presence. Peace. I'm passionate about helping individuals get healthier, trusting that as they do, their relationships are healthier, identity is stronger, and their life purpose is more fully clarified and lived out. Sometimes people simply need to process/problem solve in a safe environment with a safe person. Perhaps they need coping skills to handle life's physical and emotional pain. Perhaps more. All of us have had trauma in this imperfect world, but most don't realize how it continues show up in our lives. Holistically, with hope, and compassion, I'm with clients on their journey of healing."
