Shawn is a graduate student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Fort Hays State University. He earned his undergraduate degree in Social Studies Education from Kansas State University and spent five years working as an educator, where he developed a strong passion for supporting individuals through the challenges that can impact learning, growth, and well-being.

Shawn’s background also includes crisis work at Comcare, where he supported individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and other acute stressors. These experiences, combined with his time in education, have shaped a grounded, compassionate approach that values meeting people where they are and helping them feel supported during difficult moments.

Shawn brings meaningful lived experience into his work. Having been diagnosed with ADHD at a young age and growing up in a divorced family, he understands the impact these experiences can have and approaches clients with empathy and insight. Raised in Montana and later living in both rural and urban Kansas communities, Shawn has worked with people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and values creating an inclusive, respectful space for all clients.

In therapy, Shawn takes a client-centered and strengths-based approach, drawing from positive psychology and CBT to help clients work toward goals that feel meaningful to them. He values collaboration, curiosity, and building a supportive connection throughout the therapeutic process.
