Shana founded Upstream Therapy with a heartfelt mission to empower individuals to harness their strengths and achieve meaningful healing. Guided by a deep belief in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship, Shana emphasizes the importance of addressing attachment wounds as a foundation for breaking unhelpful patterns of behavior. This approach paves the way for profound and long-lasting growth.

Drawing from attachment and psychodynamic approaches, Shana is passionate about making these evidence-based methods accessible and approachable for everyone. Her commitment to creating a supportive, client-centered environment inspired the foundation of Upstream, where individuals and families can feel understood, valued, and empowered on their journey toward wellness.
