Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Shannon. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and have been in practice for 8 years practicing the art of therapy. I enjoy working with individuals and couples going through life transitions, healing from trauma and identity development.

My approach to therapy

Working with me is like sitting on a front porch with a gentle summer breeze blowing- I am warm, very inquisitive and gently challenging. I like to meet you where you are and hear your story and together, decide where you'd like your therapy journey to take you. I am very inquisitive and enjoy gently challenging you along the way to become the best version of you and help you meet your goals.

What you can expect from me

In our first session together, we will spend time getting to know each other. After reviewing paperwork together, I will spend majority of the time hearing what brings you into therapy, your hopes for treatment and reflect back to make sure I'm hearing you and on the same page. Together, we will develop a plan to help you reach the goals that are bringing you in.
