My name is Xana (pronounced Shauna).
I received my MA in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 2019 and completed my graduate training in San Francisco at the Integral Counseling Center at Church Street.
I work with the Center for Mindful Psychotherapy (an SF-based non-profit), offering both in-person sessions in Pacifica, CA, and virtual therapy for anyone in California. My approach is gentle while also being direct. I believe in earning trust and my eclectic therapeutic style helps me meet clients where they are, building clear boundaries to guide towards integration, healing and self-awareness.
I practice Relational Therapy grounded in mindfulness and Gestalt Awareness Practice. Therapy with me is affirming, collaborative and tailored to individual needs. I strive to meet each person with empathy while encouraging realistic interventions to increase emotional awareness and curative practices.
In therapy sessions we can explore how current and historical relationship patterns impact your overall well-being and sense of vitality. With careful exploration This type of therapy supports emotional regulation with practicality and realistic therapeutic interventions while creating a wide container for non-violence and creative self-exploration. Simply put: you are in the driver's seat and I am your supportive copilot helping to keep you on course.
All are welcome in my practice and I feel it is important to be clear that I have a deep commitment to psychologies of Liberation and social justice. My practice is trauma informed and I am make it my mission to do no harm.
