Hi there! I’m Shana, and I’m so glad you’re here!

I started my career as a therapist in 2015. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Addiction Studies from the University of South Dakota, and a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. I’ve been credentialed and practicing as a CADC since 2015 and LMFT since 2019.

My clinical experience includes inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment, outpatient mental health, and now private practice. With the growing recognition of how much grief and loss impacts all of us within our human experience, I’ve also begun working toward a Master’s degree in Thanatology (the study of death, dying, grief, and loss) through Edgewood University.

I’m passionate about helping clients explore and find their balance within to support their growth and fulfillment. While there is often so much pain and subsequent softness needed in our growth through difficult times, I also appreciate the release and comfort shared laughter can bring. I’m intentional about being genuine and show up as a fellow human first in my office, and see walking alongside my clients on their journey a true privilege.
