More about Shawn

  • 10 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPCC

Life is a journey filled with many experiences and relationships. I met my wife while we were in college. Subsequently, we settled down in Las Cruces to start a family, where I’ve worked as a school psychologist and professional counselor ever since. I understand that sometimes the difficulties of life get a little easier to navigate with some support. Challenges become chances for growth and development. I believe in the power of the individual and place emphasis on listening, understanding, and gaining perspective in my practice. I look forward to learning about your personal path on the journey forward.
