LCSW, 15 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia and Utah. I received my Masters from the University of Utah and have been practicing for 15 years. I help adults from all walks of life struggling with anxiety, depression, anger management, and addiction to be the best versions of themselves. I have expertise in Motivational Interviewing, and cognitive based therapies to empower personal growth and healing.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Specialization Areas: Trauma recovery, addiction, anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions, relationship challenges, personal growth, self-discovery, men's issues, emotional regulation, caregiver burnout, healing from past experiences, and anger management.
I believe in creating a safe, supportive, and empowering therapeutic environment that honors each client's unique journey of healing and personal growth. My approach is rooted in respect, empathy, and collaborative care. My non-judgmental approach means creating a sanctuary where clients can explore their thoughts, and feelings without judgement.
CBT helps individuals identify and change negative thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to mental health problems.
CPT helps individuals identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs about traumatic experiences that can contribute to PTSD symptoms.
MI is a client-centered counseling approach that helps individuals explore and resolve ambivalence about making changes.

Even after just one session so far I feel like I clicked well with Shawn and will definitely be working with him more in the future.
