Meet Shawne'
I work with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and chronic illnesses. My own experiences with chronic illnesses and the physical and mental challenges they bring have greatly directed my therapeutic practices.
I believe our thinking patterns and the way we interpret the world, influence our behaviors and keep us stuck! By adjusting these patterns we can begin to change behaviors and have a different outcome.
Background
I'm a Texas native who graduated from The University of North Texas with a degree in Psychology, and Dallas Baptist University with a Master's of Arts in Counseling. I have had extensive training in treating anxiety and trauma, including being a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional - Child and Adolescence (CCATP-CA) and a Certified Family Trauma Professional (CFTP). Additionally, I am certified through the International OCD Foundation. I've had the privilege to serve populations in a variety of settings including large agencies, private practices, and school districts as a Crisis Counselor.

The Resilience of The Poplar Tree
Mental wellness from the root to the branch
With roots that delve deep into the earth, the poplar teaches us the importance of grounding ourselves, finding stability amidst life's storms. Like a pillar of strength, it offers a comforting presence to those seeking solace beneath its branches.
In every season, the poplar tree transforms, shedding its leaves in the fall only to emerge anew in the spring. This cyclical renewal is a poignant reminder that our mental health, too, can experience seasons of growth and change. Just as the poplar perseveres through the harshest winters, we, too, can weather life's challenges and emerge stronger on the other side.
The poplar tree personifies the resilience and steadfastness required for good mental health, reminding us to stand tall, stay rooted, and embrace the ever-changing seasons of our minds.
