About
Hi, I’m Sheena.
Imagine a life that is full of joy, passion, and clarity.
Thinking about your life in this way may seem impossible, but I have no doubt that it can be done.
Working with adults, teens, and parents is one of my passions.
I can help you become a confident adult.
Process of Therapy
From the first phone call, you will see that getting help is easier than you think. When you call, I will answer unless I am with another client. Then, please leave a message, and I will give you a call as soon as I have a free moment.
I know that you are probably having emotional pain and want the pain to end soon. When we talk over the phone, I will get information from you, answer questions you may have, and set up the initial in-office appointment.
During the first session, you get a chance to look at the office and get comfortable. Together, we will review what was shared over the phone during the consultation and begin to discuss other urgent concerns you have.
We will begin to create a plan of treatment together and set individual goals. Typical treatment per concern can take 1-6 sessions.
Each person and situation are different, so treatment can vary person to person.
IMPORTANT POINT – You are in control of the process and what goals are addressed each session.
During sessions over time, we will look at what is working, what can be improved, and what things could be reduced/eliminated.
After each session, you will have a task to complete that allows you to practice new skills on your own, outside the office. When you return to the next session, we will review how your week went and a new goal is set.
About me…
I graduated from Chestnut Hill College with an M.S (Master of Science) in Clinical and Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Child/Adolescent therapy.
I have been working with children and adolescents for 13 years straight and have mentored many young adults in the process.
During my career, I have worked in numerous treatment centers and agencies where clients were helped using specialized treatment modalities for targeted unresolved trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence, eating disorders, depression/anxiety, grief, and loss.
Over the years, I have worked with children as young as two and adults in their senior years. The work that is conducted in session is individual-based and focused on the specific person and not the age group.
During therapy, skills are built over time and can be used in varying situations. The overall goal of treatment is to reduce overwhelming pain and discomfort, increase overall well-being, and improve the quality of care based on goals made by the client.
Outside of the Office
I am a wife and mother of four beautiful children. Weeknights and weekends are busy, as you can imagine.
There is not an adventure that I do not want to try. I enjoy rock climbing, skiing, camping, paintballing, hiking, and everything that is fun under the sun.
On the other hand, I love to draw, crochet, bake, and calligraphy writing, too.
