About Shannon

Putting you first, always

Firstly, I just want to acknowledge that you are here! Thank you for taking the time to find the right therapist for you. This journey can be really tough; I know, I’ve been through it myself.

 

So, what do you need to know about me?

 

Well, I’m someone who likes to keep it real. I am human first and foremost and I show up that way in our sessions together. That means I am honest, can sometimes ask tough questions, will provide you with tools to use that I believe will support your healing outside of our sessions, and overall really care for the clients I work with.

 

I believe that therapy works when the therapist and client have a solid relationship and foundation of trust to build on. We need to be dedicated to one another, and I hope I can show up for you in the way you need me to.

 

I have done countless years of learning. I have done countless hours of my own therapy and supervision (and continue to do so). I can offer you education about our bodies and minds, why we do or think the ways we do. I can also offer you tools and support in order to change, cope, adapt, etc. to the things that may be stressors in your life, past and present.

 

I was led to do this work because of my own struggles with my mental health from an early age. I have been volunteering and working in a therapeutic capacity for the last 15+ years.

 

Outside of work, I am someone who has just had her first son, I am a partner, a dog mom, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a lover of interior decorating and design, travel, reading, and the sunshine.
