Great to meet you!

I’m Shannon. As a dually-licensed counselor (LMHC in FL/NY and LPC in PA), I have the privilege of supporting clients across all three states through teletherapy.

With 16 years in the behavioral health field, I have a deep understanding of how easily women can lose their own identity while caring for everyone else. My practice is specialized to help women navigate identity loss and role-related burnout.

Do you feel like you're constantly juggling a dozen different roles, only to realize you've lost sight of the person holding them all together? It's exhausting to feel stuck in a cycle of guilt the moment you try to put yourself first. If you're struggling with "people-pleasing" burnout, a fading sense of self, or the heavy weight of expectations, I'm here to help you find your way back to you.

My approach to therapy

I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you can finally take off the many "hats" you wear and just be yourself. My approach is personable and inviting, but I am also direct enough to help you identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck. I'm here to challenge the patterns that hold you back while cheering you on as you grow!

Using a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills, we'll work on:

  • Reclaiming your identity beyond your roles.
  • Setting boundaries without the soul-crushing guilt.
  • Improving distress tolerance so life's chaos doesn't feel so overwhelming.

What you can expect from me

Our first meeting is a collaborative 'deep dive' in a space that feels safe, inviting, and entirely yours. I strive to create an environment where you can finally take off the many 'hats' you wear and just be yourself-no judgment, just genuine support.

Think of this as building our roadmap together. Through a thorough assessment, I'll gain a clear understanding of your history, your current needs, and the specific goals you have for your life. We will work together to uncover why you feel stuck so we can start moving you forward.
