Great to meet you!

Shannon is a trauma-informed therapist with a Master of Arts in mental health counseling with a concentration in addiction and offenders counseling from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. She has a Bachelor of Arts in applied psychology and a minor in criminal justice from Penn State University, Berks campus. She is a licensed professional counselor (LPC), a certified advanced alcohol and drugs counselor (CAADC), a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP), certified in dialectical behavior therapy (C-DBT) and a rainbow advocate clinical specialist (RACS).

My approach to therapy

I combine warmth with proven tools. Together we’ll use CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT, and narrative or art work to help your story heal. My Rainbow Advocate training ensures an LGBTQIA+ affirming space, and years of hospital & clinic work refine support for veterans, teens, and adults coping with trauma, anxiety, substance use, and tough transitions.

What you can expect from me

Healing doesn’t have to mean doing it alone. If you’re ready to trade survival mode for steadier mornings, deeper breaths, and a future that feels like it truly belongs to you, let’s begin that work together. Reach out when you’re ready—I’ll meet you with curiosity, respect, and the tools to make real change.
