Meet Shawn

My therapy style is person centered counseling. I beleive the person has the ability to provide solutions for their problems (solution focused counseling) and they often need to process the emotions to find the answers. I also use Eye Movement Desentazation (EMDR) to help process deep truma. My specialities are addictions (alcohola and drug and process addiction gambling and sex addiction) and couples counseling. I use Motivational Interviewing to allow the patient o understand the consequences of the addication and fincd effective coping skills to change negatative behaviors. I use Gottman to help couples heal and communicate.

I specialize in addiction and substance use disorders, process addictions, and couples/marriage counseling.
