I am a clinical social worker licensed in my home state of Michigan. I earned my MSW from Indiana University School of Social Work in 2007. I am a military spouse and my family’s frequent moves have given me great opportunities to work in a variety of clinical settings with all age groups. I have worked as a therapist helping children and teens regulate big emotions and cope with traumas, led group therapy with adults in transition from hospital psychiatric care, provided assessment and care to wounded soldiers, and worked in a private practice group doing individual therapy addressing parenting issues, adjustments, grief, anxiety, and depression. I have had training in many different treatment modalities, but I typically use Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques. Each person is different, so I will always work with you to develop the best course of action. My objective, as a therapist, is to create a safe space, void of judgment, where anyone can feel comfortable working on their goals to achieve the outcomes that they desire. Additionally, I have a certificate of TeleMental Health training.

ABOUT ME Hello! My name is Shawna and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Advanced Certified Trauma Practitioner with over fifteen years of experience providing therapy services. I have worked in a wide range of therapeutic settings including: educational settings, intensive outpatient care, managing a private practice and organizations. I work with clients affected by depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma and relationship challenges from individual, group and family work. Originally from Seattle, I moved to Detroit, MI to continue my education and raise a family. I received my graduate degree in Clinical Social Work at Wayne State University in Detroit and my Educational Specialist post-graduate degree in Educational Leadership at Oakland University where I am currently a student in the PhD. program. My approach to therapy is client centered: clients are the experts on their lives and determine the direction and depth of therapy. Through a strengths-based and solutions-focused lens, I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist clients in exploring relationships among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to aid in discovering dysfunctional thought patterns leading to self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I support clients through developing skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation with the goal of moving clients towards a life involving the capacity for experiencing joy and freedom. Outside of my work as a therapist, I practice mindfulness to help me maintain balance. I also enjoy reading, biking and spending time with my family and pets traveling.
