Great to meet you!

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and practice in Santa Barbara, California. I see clients who are dealing with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship conflicts, and addiction.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My work as a therapist is driven by the belief that we all have challenges and it is how we deal with these challenges that ultimately determines how fulfilling and happy our lives can be.


We all can fall into negative patterns and the key to breaking these cycles is an awareness and understanding of how we got there.


I support my clients to find positive solutions to their problems so they can have fulfilling lives and happier and healthier relationships.

What you can expect from our first session

My therapeutic approach is client-centered and my ultimate goal is for my clients to leave each session with a sense of empowerment and hope that they can take their lives in the positive direction they choose.

Shannon's style is

Empowering
Warm
Inquisitive
