Hey, I’m Shawn!

I was born and raised in the Bay Area - I know how much pressure falls on creative, neurodivergent, and sensitive people in California. I offer an enlivening approach to mental health inspired by my work as a recording artist.

Wellbeing is a practice–

just like running, meditating, or mastering an instrument. Together, we will cultivate resilience, self-appreciation, and a drive towards meaning. Through our work you will reshape your relationship with yourself, creating space for greater insight, creativity, and ability to enjoy life.

  • Seeing the full spectrum of your life can be overwhelming at first, especially when you look at difficult aspects that you may have ignored. With practice, you will feel more open towards your experience, helping you feel life’s highs, lows, and meh moments in full clarity. You will make some meaningful changes along the way; as you get more in touch with what you feel, those changes will make you feel authentic and fulfilled. You might laugh, you might cry, and hopefully you will learn a ton.

  • I almost always recommend meeting weekly at the beginning of therapy, when momentum is key. After about 4-5 sessions there is more room to adjust the schedule to your needs.

  • I do! Please head to my Headway page to see the insurances I accept and book a time to connect. If I don’t work with your insurance, I’m happy to give you a superbill for your sessions that you can share with your insurer for at least partial reimbursement in many cases.
