Great to meet you!

I'm a therapist, who recognizes after almost 20 years of practice, there are various paths to achieve life's personal and professional goals. However, the one taken with mental health as its priority, yields immeasurable joy and internal peace. After many years of trauma focused therapy I have shifted my focus to working with clients who are experiencing the anxiety, depression and uncertainty that often comes along with stepping into and out of the workforce, or any other life pursuits!

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have an unconventional approach to therapy which is one of humanity, compassion, partnership and good old fashioned grit. I will listen from an open heart and mind, with you and your goals at the center of it all!

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is for each and every one of my clients to feel as special as they really are and to walk away from the session with grace for themselves and their personal journey.


Shannon's style is

Empowering
Solution-oriented
Humorous
