With Clarity, Navigating Life Becomes Easier
~ Shawn Blagden
Life doesn’t come with a map ~ with clarity, we begin to see the path ahead more clearly. Clarity doesn’t mean having all the answers ~ it means learning to trust yourself, even in the unknown, with greater ease.

Welcome to Clarity and Ease Counseling
You've discovered a safe place to begin again, reconnect with your inner resilience, and live the life you want to live
Life can feel overwhelming, difficult and confusing, and at times ~ lonely. You might be feeling anxious, stuck, burnt out, or simply unsure of your next step. You don’t have to carry it all alone. At Clarity and Ease Counseling, I offer a gentle, grounded space where healing happens through connection, compassion, and support.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, family addiction, low self-worth, and more. Whether you’re feeling the weight of the past or the pressure of the present, I’m here to walk alongside you ~ at your pace, in your way.

I view healing as both internal and relational. Often, what feels like a personal problem ~ self-doubt, emotional reactivity, disconnection ~ has roots in our roles within families or communities. Systems therapy allows us to untangle these patterns and foster growth in your current relationships, including with yourself.
Healing is not about “fixing” what’s wrong with you. It’s about reconnecting with who you really are ~ your truth; restoring your resilience, values, strengths and finding your voice.
Why Clarity and Ease?
Because healing doesn’t have to feel harsh or clinical. It can feel like coming home to yourself.
I meet you where you are, honor where you’ve been, and support you in moving toward where you want to go ~ with clarity, ease and a renewed sense of self.
You Are Welcome Here
Therapy is a courageous step ~ and you deserve care that sees the full picture of who you are. Whether you're new to therapy or returning, I'm here to walk beside you with curiosity, compassion, and commitment.
