I enjoy helping people overcome obstacles to enjoy life again. Using a warm, compassionate approach to therapy I walk alongside my clients on their journey helping to guide them in reaching their goals and living the life they desire. Being a small private practice allows me to provide superior mental health care by connecting with each client and being able to focus on each personal story.

My practice is built on teaching and supporting people who want to; reduce and manage their stress-worry-anxiety, improve their mood to move toward their authentically happier selves, improve their relationships with family-friends-co-workers, are going through life transitions and want to use it to be better aligned with where they want to be in their life, manage the flood of events in the world that are impacting their thoughts and feelings, people who are hard workers and care for others but then find it difficult to have time left over for their own self-care on a regular basis.

Feeling stressed? Got the blues? Having a lover's quarrel? Are the children misbehaving? We can help! We specialize in Brief, Solution- Focused therapy to help you overcome whatever obstacle you are currently facing. With over fifteen years of experience, We focus on working with you as a team to help you resolve any issues you and/or your family may be dealing with.

Exhausted, sad, angry or overwhelmed? When in the throes of negative feelings, it’s often easy to forget that they serve as signposts for boundary violations or unmet needs. Just as hunger, cold and other uncomfortable sensations shift to a sense of comfort or satisfaction when the need is met, emotional distress likewise transitions to a sense of fullness, wholeness or connectedness whenever the needs which underlie it are met.

Adulting can feel like walking alone on an endless bridge. You don't have to go it alone! I offer help for young adults, ages 18-35, coping with life transitions, anxiety, trauma and grief and discovering your unique identity. I help clients with mind/body/spirit connection as well. I am committed to affirming identities for all folks. I honor each client as a unique individual who is the expert of their own journey of self-discovery, healing and growth. I'm LGBTQIA+, Kink, CNM and Polyamory aware and allied.

The clients I work with are those committed to better health. My clients are those seeking health in their relationships, mood, body, mind and spirit. I work with those that are coping with traumatic experiences, grief, loss, and conflict. When we start therapy, we are getting to know each other. I will take the time to learn all about you, your environment and what challenges you are facing. Then we develop goals together that you want to achieve during therapy. From there I can develop a tailored plan to help you find the life you seek.

I believe in a holistic approach to psychotherapy. Psychotherapy creates a safe space for wounded people to work toward healing within the security of the therapeutic relationship. I understand your problems through both clinical and spiritual perspectives. I believe that true healing and freedom come through faith in Christ Jesus so I am guided by the Holy Spirit within my clinical approach. I believe in the Biblical truth of John 8:36, "Whom the Son sets free is truly free indeed". My therapeutic practice reflects that freedom and healing are possible for all clients who are bound by psychological pain and trauma.

I am a licensed professional counselor who is a Christian. I understand how important it is to have a Christian counselor. If this is something you want to integrate into your counseling process I am able to do this and can use the Bible and your relationship with God to help you with whatever struggles you have. Integrating God and your beliefs is not a requirement to have counseling, but it is something I can offer. You can be yourself without fear of judgment when working with me. I respect your faith and denominational differences. I don’t have an agenda nor am I preachy.

I am passionate about creating an open environment for people to explore, understand, and communicate about their thoughts, feelings, wants and needs. I believe that as one is able to learn their authentic self, they become able to embrace true identity, transform boundaries, and connect to themselves and others more fully. I enjoy helping others explore how thought, lived experiences (familial, cultural, societal influences), and behavior patterns impact daily life, self concept, connection, and achievement.

I help people to overcome obstacles and/or simply perform their best. I see awareness as a key and utilize a collaborative approach in the work I do with clients. Thoughts, emotions, physiology, and behaviors are brought into awareness. Building awareness of these factors, building awareness of relationship patterns (sometimes using the client/counselor relationship), and emotionally working through tough areas, often leads to feeling and performing better.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I have specialized in working with clients to help them gain greater insight into how their thoughts and behaviors impact not only themselves, but other people in their lives. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can be used as a model for building on relationships with those that matter most to us, outside of the office. I believe that by understanding our past experiences, we can have a better understanding of what is happening currently in our lives, and how we can work together to make changes that align with your values.

I provide neurodiversity-affirming Autism and ADHD evaluations for adults in the state of Maryland as well as individual therapy. Some folks may come to me through self-identification and are simply looking to affirm what they already know about themselves, while others may be exploring neurodivergence for the first time. I am ready to meet you wherever you are in your self-discovery journey. My process is based on the client’s needs, but a typical evaluation includes gathering of social and developmental history, completion of self-report questionnaires, and the use of several diagnostic tools.

Hi, I'm Shawna! Congratulations on taking the first step towards making some life changes. I understand because I've been there. Sometimes we all need a little support in achieving our goals. That’s just fine because life can be overwhelming. Often we just need a bit of guidance finding the answers that are already inside of us and that’s when coaching can be helpful. The coaching process works well in any area of your life you want to develop or change. The hardest part is taking the first step.

The truth about recovery is that it's a process. Just like life itself. It's forever changing and moving forward. Healing never has to stop. There is always more we can recover and grow from, becoming more whole along the way. Recovery is a form of discovery. Recovering parts of ourselves that had been cut off means they are finally revealed to us, and we discover something new about ourselves. We discover that we are greater than we were before. More aware of our inner strength and resources, we become empowered. I hope that you discover true healing and what recovery can be: Internal peace and serenity can happen.

I strive to help individuals & couples to overcome obstacles stemming from past trauma, confront challenges in the present, & achieve milestones which inspires them to face the future, self-assured. I provide a supportive platform for clients to become aware of subconscious patterns (thoughts, behaviors, reactions), identify as well as take responsibility of that which is in their control, make a personal commitment to course correct, & learn ways to cope with the discomfort of change. This can require you to use both your internal & external resources, purposefully & productively, for the wellbeing and improvement of your life.
