Shawn graduated with honors from the University of Florida in Gainesville with a degree in psychology and health sciences. After spending a year volunteering as a hotline counselor for the Alachua County Crisis and Suicide Prevention Center, they solidified their desire to support and guide people to mental and emotional safety. In their mental health graduate studies at Boston College, Shawn began their counseling career working in dual diagnosis (mental health/substance use) and domestic violence advocacy. After graduating from their program, Shawn began professional mental health work in the hospital and outpatient setting, seeing a range of client ages, populations, mental health conditions, and lived experiences. In the wake of earning their independent clinical license, Shawn began working in the university counseling setting as well as in group private practice which has led them to ultimate alignment in their profession serving LGBTQ+ clients in private practice. Throughout their clinical journey, Shawn was exposed to the internalized family systems model of therapy, suicide prevention and assessment, gender affirmation and consultation surrounding surgical procedures, and countless hours of training surrounding supporting trans folx in medical and social/emotional transition. Shawn has also volunteered as a mental health advocate in Trans BIPOC community events in Boston
