I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 8 years of experience treating individuals, couples, and families. I graduated from Fuller School of Psychology with a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have devoted years of education and training to issues of stress, trauma, and loss. I am committed to restoring lives shaken by stress and personal obstacles. My work helps people overcome traumatic events, reestablish healthy attachments, and restore the connections and trust essential to fulfilling lives and relationships.
Whatever it is that you are struggling with, please do not feel that you have to go through it alone. Reaching out and allowing someone else into the struggle can help so, so much.
I work from a person-centered point of view. I believe that you are the expert on yourself and your family. Inside of you is the potential for insight, growth, and change.
Contact me today to start that process toward growth and change. I look forward to hearing from you!

She's simply amazing. In other words: patient, detailed, full of practical ideas, non judgmental, feels like I've been talking to her forever! I am not a person of many words and this is already too many for me. That tells you how good she is and how much I think of her. Thanks Shauna!

I was nervous about talking to someone about what I perceived as "issues". Thinking I would be told I was just being silly. However, after opening up and talking with Shauna I felt completely relaxed. Like I was talking to a friend. She really helped me identify some root causes that I never realized could have been triggers for me. The articles and support she provided have helped tremendously! I feel better about myself, happier and in control. She has helped me tremendously!

Shauna is very quick to respond and very thoughtful in her approach. Though we haven't meant the human connection is absolutely there. It's nice to have someone to talk to on a regular basis amid my busy schedule.

She's awesome and very helpful. I've been to many therapists and it's hard to find one that genuinely cares.

I'm happy with my therapist. It's an affordable, healthy way to vent and get a professional perspective of my life's choices and direction I'm going. I love looking forward to the feedback 1-2 a week. I enjoy being accountable to someone who is non judgmental. It also gives me a vehicle to let off steam without burdening my friends and family.
