Great to meet you!

Hi! I’m Shannon, a marriage and family therapist based in the Wheaton, Illinois area. I offer therapy for individuals, couples, and families, both in person and virtually. I have experience supporting clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, self-esteem, attachment, faith and spirituality, gender identity, sexual orientation, and forgiveness. In my work, I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, and EMDR to provide personalized, compassionate care.

My approach to therapy

My purpose and passion as a therapist is helping clients face their challenges head-on while reminding them they are not alone in their journey. I prioritize building strong, trusting relationships because I believe that therapy is most effective when it’s collaborative. Showing up fully for my clients and being present is incredibly important to me, as I honor the courage it takes to take that first step toward healing. It’s an honor and a privilege to walk alongside them on their path toward growth and well-being.

What you can expect from me

I aim to foster a warm, safe, and collaborative space for my clients. My goal is for you to feel comfortable being yourself and to have someone who listens and accepts you without judgment. I’m committed to supporting you as you work toward your goals, and I’m excited to see what we can accomplish together!
