Great to meet you!

Life is beautiful, rich, and rewarding. Life is also met with adversity, strife, and difficulty. While we often lean on our friends and family for support, at times we find ourselves needing something more. Therapy is a space where clear, objective, reflective and caring support is available to help us to move forward. Shawnti supports helping professionals experiencing depression and anxiety because of events based in secondary trauma, compassion fatigue, moral injury, intersectionality, and executive functioning difficulties.

My approach to therapy

Drawing from ACT, Mindfulness, and CBT methods, Shawnti strives to foster an environment where you are both supported and encouraged to develop effective strategies that lead to practical solutions.

What you can expect from me

It is those of strong mind, body and heart that seek help and guidance to work through and heal from difficult situations and life events. You have taken the most difficult step, the first step, by seeking that guidance.

We will start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
