Hi, I'm Shauna.You're not crazy. You just need the tools to unhook the past from who you believe you are.
Shauna Onabajo LPC
When I was young I watched Oprah and Dr. Phil and saw how people struggle with deep emotional wounds, largely from trauma. It stuck with me. I wanted to drive to work every day and see lives change. Now I'm doing just that.

About Shauna
Childhood sexual abuse, rape, and incest change you. The devastation touches so many layers of who you are and impacts your relationships in significant ways. But that doesn't have to be the end of the story. One of the reasons I love my job is that I get to see people heal even when, at first, they aren't sure healing is possible.
I especially love working with Black and Indigenous folks who want to overcome the traumas holding them back — including racial trauma, sexual identity, and spiritual fulfillment after trauma.
Carrying secrets and unresolved grief can leave you lonely, misunderstood, perfectionistic, or steeped in guilt and shame. Often my clients worry they're crazy because they 'should' be happy. You're not. I'd be honored to help.

Anxiety management, healthy relationships, sexual identity, and racial trauma recovery — at your pace, on your terms.

Secrets and unresolved grief that show up as loneliness, perfectionism, and shame.

Faith-informed counseling
If spirituality is part of what you're wrestling with, I'm happy to bring it in. You lead — I never assume.
How I work
Small events and big ones both shape your mood. Either way, we can shift it.
As an EMDR therapist I understand that both small and big events can impact how you feel. I also use Trauma-Focused CBT, sandtray, CBT, psychodynamic work, and attachment theory. Whatever you're experiencing now, we'll build a plan and follow it together.
I help my clients to…
Create an effective plan for treatment
Manage your emotions and regain control
Heal from the past
Make lifelong changes
Build healthy relationships
Feel strong in who you are
