Shauna Frantz
As a clinician, I'm passionate about integrating the seen with the unseen. Understanding and working with the root issues. Helping you open into more of who you can be. I offer a warm, compassionate place for you to allow (or learn to allow) yourself to be cared for and supported. Embodied, experiential, and present: I work with techniques such as felt sensing and interoception, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed, Energy Psychology, and Emotion Freedom Technique (EFT) tapping, to help you access, understand, and release emotions and stuckness and trauma.
I'm Usui Reiki Level II certified, offer use of runes, tarot and oracle decks in sessions, and am a sound artist, an animist and connected to my ancestors.
