Hi, I’m Shane

I’ve been told that I’m the therapist for people who aren’t comfortable with the idea of seeing a therapist. I’m down-to-earth, direct, a lover of music, photography, and laughter. I’ll speak with you in plain language like a regular person… and together we’ll do the work of therapy (more about that under Services).

It wasn’t until I experienced first-hand what could be achieved when working with a skilled therapist that I ever thought of becoming one; “Transformative” is the only word I know that comes close.

Since that time I have earned a Master of Arts in Psychology from Seattle University and become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA). I have earned an additional certification in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, am an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist, and have completed an Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) externship through the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT).

In the average week, I work with C-level executives, professionals, students, and retirees among others. My clientele spans a wide range of identities and backgrounds. Whatever your values and beliefs, I will respectfully support you.

My practice is focused on helping people who are stuck get unstuck and helping people face all of life’s challenges with confidence.

I’m looking forward to meeting you.
