I'm glad you stopped by...

Hi, I’m Dr. Shawntres — a CA licensed therapist, AASECT certified sex therapist, relationship coach, and the creator of Responsible Daughter™. I help high-achieving women and couples of the global majority break cycles of emotional overfunctioning and build relationships rooted in mutual care, clarity, and connection.

I hold a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology and have over a decade of clinical experience, with advanced training in Imago relationship therapy, emotionally focused therapy for couples, sex therapy, and liberatory, somatic-based approaches to healing. My work is grounded in both science and soul — helping clients reconnect with desire, set boundaries that don’t cost them connection, and find a way back to themselves without abandoning those they love.

Whether you’re here to explore your patterns, deepen intimacy, or finally stop doing all the emotional labor in your relationship, you’re in the right place. I bring strategy, softness, and deep respect for your brilliance — because healing shouldn’t require you to dim your light.
