Hi, I’m Shannon !

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already managing anxiety, stress (work, kids, etc), relationship challenges, grief, or a major life transition. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.

With over 12 years of experience as a clinical social worker, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families across medical and mental health settings. My background in pediatric hematology and oncology has given me specialized experience helping individuals and caregivers cope with chronic illness, cancer, cancer survivorship, medical trauma, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of serious health conditions.

I also enjoy working with child, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, parenting stress, self-esteem concerns, women’s issues, adjustment to life changes, and healthcare professionals facing compassion fatigue. I believe therapy should be collaborative, practical, and tailored to your unique goals so you leave each session feeling supported and equipped with tools you can use in everyday life.

I believe therapy should feel like a partnership. Every person has a unique story, and I strive to create a safe, compassionate environment where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence-based. I tailor treatment to each client’s needs by drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-informed care.

Together we’ll identify unhelpful patterns, build healthy coping skills, strengthen resilience, and work toward realistic, meaningful goals. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, chronic illness, caregiver stress, or a significant life transition, therapy is designed to help you feel more confident, balanced, and hopeful.

**Sessions start 8/3/26**Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, the challenges you’re currently facing, your personal history, and what you hope to gain from our work together.

My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer understanding of how therapy can help. Together we’ll begin identifying goals that are meaningful to you and create a personalized plan that fits your needs.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. We’ll take it one step at a time, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
