Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Shannell, a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate life’s most challenging and overwhelming moments.

I specialize in working with women, moms, and professionals who are balancing multiple responsibilities and often feel the weight of stress, anxiety or emotional exhaustion. I also work with men who are ready to better understand their emotions and develop healthier ways of coping and communicating.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, supportive, and person-centered—while also being practical and solution-focused. I create a safe space where you can be open and honest, while also helping you identify patterns, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

With a background in crisis counseling, acute mental health, and private practice, I understand how heavy life can feel at times—and more importantly, how to help you work through it.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a major life transition, or struggling with anxiety or depression, you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, supported, and in control of your life, I’d be honored to work with you.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported from the very beginning. We’ll start by talking about what brings you to therapy and what you’ve been experiencing. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out—I’ll guide the conversation at a pace that feels right for you. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to better understand your current challenges, your history, and what you’d like to gain from therapy. Together, we’ll begin identifying patterns, exploring your goals, and discussing how I can best support you moving forward. You can expect a calm, non-judgmental environment where you don’t have to “perform” or have all the answers—just a space to be open and honest. I can't wait to meet with you!
