Originally from Teton, Idaho, Shauna enjoys spending time with her family, playing the piano, and exploring the mountains. Her decision to work in the field of social work was inspired by her deep affection for children and a desire to support them through mental health challenges, especially after witnessing struggles within her own family. Shauna offers this advice to patients: “Cultivate relationships with people who uplift and encourage you, such as friends, family members, or community groups. As you engage in activities that foster these connections and prioritize open communication, you will begin to build a strong support network.”
