About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who knows first hand the lasting impact childhood trauma can have on ones mind, body and soul. My life experiences have led to me choose a life of service to others through providing hope and healing. Being a therapist is something I enjoy, providing support comes EASY. My unwavering desire and innate ability to Make people feel comfortable and accepted, help people identify and put their feelings into words, accept people for who they are, understand people’s experiences and support personal growth makes me a great listener and compassionate therapist.
For over 20 years I have worked with individuals, couples and families in addressing some of life’s most challenging circumstances. I am clinically trained in the following treatment modalities; Psychodynamic , Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)and Solution Focused Therapy.
My use of diverse and interactive; clinical and holistic therapeutic approaches have proven to be most effective in addressing issues including but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, substance use/abuse, relationship issues, parenting concerns and diminished coping skills. A patient centered approach allows me to most efficiently utilize my clinical training.
I am COMMITTED to being available to support underrepresented, misrepresented and marginalized populations in their therapeutic journey by validating experiences of trauma and abuse experienced due to racism, biases and prejudice. Supporting women of color who have found themselves in spaces or situations where they have been victimized by systematic oppression, inequality, and intergenerational trauma is also of utmost importance to me.
It would be an honor to help you heal and grow while sharing your story.

Shauna did an excellent job helping me sort through my concerns related to my relationships with my teenage children. She helped me form a behavioral improvement plan to reach my goals. I appreciated her feedback and valuable insights throughout our time together.

Shauna is very good at what she does and has an inquisitive nature that allows her to peel back the layers of a person and truly understand them.

Shauna has been incredibly helpful. She always give constructive advice and criticisms and is an incredible listener. She gets straight to the point and will be fully transparent with you. I feel like a lot of therapists will dance around your issues and not tell you exactly what you need and she doesn’t do that. I’ve had very few therapists be as encouraging as she is. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely continue seeing her!
