Great to meet you!

If PTSD, traumatic grief, anxiety, or mood shifts have been weighing on you, you don't have to carry it alone. I'm Shannon, a licensed therapist who works with clients of all

ages, with added training in trauma and women's mental health across the lifespan, including perinatal, perimenopause, and menopause related concerns. I welcome clients of every faith background, and I'm trained to offer Christian-based counseling for those who want it woven into care.

My approach to therapy

My approach is not "one-size-fits" all. I do my best to adapt evidence-based treatment to meet the needs of each specific client. Generally the trauma therapy I provide involves three things: 1) fostering safety in your environment, and in your own body and mind; 2) managing and processing intrusive thoughts and memories, and 3) reconnecting to your life and relationships in a meaningful way.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll talk through what's bringing you to therapy, what you're hoping will feel different, and how we can get there together, at a pace that feels safe for you. You're welcome to ask me anything, about my approach, my training in trauma and women's mental health, or what a typical session looks like. My goal is for you to

leave that first conversation feeling heard, and confident we're a good fit to do this work together."
