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.

Are you experiencing irritability? Are you feeling stuck? Do you need a break? Life can be overwhelming and underwhelming at times. It can be hard to muster the energy to progress in ways we desire. However, you can find relief and solutions to your mental health challenges with the proper assistance. Did you know a lot of our struggles can come from our automatic thoughts and habits? Let’s work together to break these habits and create new behaviors that help you achieve your goals and live a happier and more satisfying lifestyle.

There is a common narrow perception of counseling. It is the place where you go when you've reached the end of your rope. When you can't make life work anymore. And you have reached your own personal end. And, you surrender, and say, I need help. I'm stuck. While this may be true, what is equally and more importantly true is that this point of surrender is actually just the beginning! Your own personal journey of becoming who you were truly meant to be and can be and are.

If something doesn't feel quite right in your life, in how you're handling important relationships, how you're coping with feelings, or how you're progressing with goals; if you feel there are parts of yourself you don't fully understand, and you ready for this to change, then we'll be a good match. I believe psychotherapy requires working together to build understanding and accomplish change. For this, a strong patient-therapist relationship is essential; I am active, involved, responsive, open and communicative. Patients feel they know me, and they experience me as committed to knowing them.

Are you intellectually curious about personal growth? Let "change" be an intriguing adventure rather than an anxiety-producing threat. In your life experiences what has and hasn't worked for you? Triggers, symptoms of distress can become new ways of understanding what in your life needs a new focus. Knowing oneself more fully and making conscious choices equals more personal meaning. A great therapy experience involves jointly developing a trustworthy exploration of how feelings, thoughts, behaviors and interactions help or hurt your pursuit of a contented life with less self-doubt, fear of the unknown and personally determined lifelong growth.

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.

I specialize in betrayal trauma, affair recovery for couples, as well as sex and porn addiction for male/female and Mother Hunger. Have you hit the “work required” part of your relationship? I am trained to address intimacy issues and support you to restore healing and peace. Our space will be a place where we work to understand the "why" around what is happening in your life and where we identify how to change what isn't working for you. Once we understand these origins, we can help you to highlight your strengths while overcoming the hurdles and challenges that are in the way of your life goals, happiness, and daily peace.

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.

We all carry stories in our heads that inhibit us from being our best selves. My intention, through creative, therapeutic collaboration, is to gently challenge those stories and clear away the obstacles to happiness. My clients face a variety of issues, ranging from depression, anxiety and adjustment disorders to problematic attachment patterns, unresolved trauma and fractured body image. The common thread between these obstacles is the bedrock of my practice: taking a mindful look at all parts of our being, past, present and future, quieting shame, and empowering you to see a brighter future for yourself.
