“We all know how pearls are made. The oyster transforms both the grit and itself into something new according to its own oyster nature. If the oyster had hands, there would be no pearl” —Stephen Nachmanovitch “Free Play”.

Shauna takes an integrative view to counseling with a master’s degree in counseling psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, California. As a CADC I (certified drug and alcohol counselor) she specializes in overcoming addiction to becoming your authentic self without dependence on a substance or relationship. She is also an international expressive arts therapist and supervisor for the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association, clients can enjoy stepping outside of traditional talk therapy into more embodied approaches using music, drama, mind/body connection, visual arts, and narrative therapy. With a specialization in trauma, she is trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) for PTSD, anxiety, depression, and environmental disasters (trauma from wildfires/earthquakes/violence). 

She has worked for the Pacific Center for Human Growth, a LGBTQ counseling clinic in Berkeley, California as well as the Native American Health Center in Oakland. While earning her bachelor’s degree in anthropology from the University of California Berkeley, she founded the International Ecological Expressive Arts Therapy Association, to integrate the arts with ecological therapy. She is also a Registered Yoga Teacher with the American Yoga Alliance & The International Yoga Association, based in India/Ireland.

She welcomes LGBTQ identifying clients, all ethnicities, religious backgrounds, and takes a Person-centered, CBT/DBT, Psychodynamic and Jungian/Indigenous therapeutic approach.
