Being an adult is HARD! Hell, life, in general, can be challenging. Sometimes you are sad, anxious, or in the throes of an existential crisis. Other times stress and conflict consume your life. It's terrifying and often overwhelming to think you can't change it alone. You aren't sure when or how it got so bad, but you are sure you want to find a way out. You may struggle to make it through the day or breeze through pretending things are okay. Either way, it can no longer be ignored. You've become stagnant and want much more for your life.

I specialize in working with adults and adolescents with Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia, ARFID, Binge-Eating Disorder, and negative body-image. Why choose a psychologist rather than a counselor or master's-level psychotherapist? Because a psychologist is uniquely-trained to make accurate diagnoses and to choose among and implement evidence-based, science-supported therapies.

Before you open your eyes it seems like your mind is already going a million miles a minute. It seems like the to do list is never ending and you can never have peace. Every day is an exhausting race only to wake up and repeat the same thing over and over. You find yourself worrying about if you are doing enough, being enough for everyone around you. It seems like everyone else has it figured out but you. You've noticed it starting to impact your sleep, your mood and those around you. It feels like this just isn't right and isn't me.

Hi! I’m Shannon & I am honored to help people create the change they want in their lives. My clients often come to therapy because they are repeating patterns that are no longer working for them - both individually & in relationships. My job is to help you identify the patterns, to better understand yourself & to give you ways to adjust while staying true to you. I intigrate a variety of techniques that are geared towards your needs. Seeing the growth & awareness that happens in this process is truly remarkable & rewarding. Ultimately, my goal is to help you gain tools & skills so you no longer need me.

Thank you for visiting my page. It can truly be a difficult and vulnerable task to engage in counseling. And fear not, I will be you every step of the way. I have a very eclectic style which aligns with many clients' needs. Is it a relationship issue, grief and loss or anxiety and depression- these concerns can truly paralyze one's ability to live life holistically and freely. You will find me to be caring, direct and sensitive, and very client centered. I have a strong listening skill, empathy towards one’s pain, and an uplifting spirit that sets me apart from other counselors.

Highly sensitive hearts, introverts, deep feelers, the socially anxious, and those with emotionally intense personalities are welcome here. You feel ALL the feels. All the time. Sometimes your emotions seem so powerful that you feel out of control or that it is unbearable. You form strong attachments to people, pets, places, and things but struggle with stability and security in your relationships. You are fed up with being told that you are 'too emotional', 'too needy', 'too clingy', or 'too sensitive'. Maybe you use alcohol, drugs, food, or suicidal thoughts to cope with your overwhelming emotions.

Let's talk about sex! Do you experience pain with sex? Are you postpartum or menopausal and need guidance? Do you worry about being able to meet your partner's expectations in the bedroom? Were you taught that sex is shameful and dirty? Do you struggle to get or maintain an erection? Are you questioning your sexual identity or desires? If so, you are in the right place. Many of us avoid addressing our sexual wellness concerns because of shame, fear, and anxiety. Working towards more fulfilling sexual connections with ourselves and others is life changing.

If you are dealing with difficult and traumatic events or losses, I am here to help. If you are feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope, I can walk with you and help guide you to a better place emotionally and spiritually. With a creative mix of therapy techniques, wisdom and life experience, I build on your strengths, identify and address root causes, and help you create and work towards a plan to achieve the changes you seek.

Are your struggling with life transitions? Patterns that keep happening? Feeling anxious? I believe that therapy is an effective tool for listening, providing guidance, empathy and relationship building for those that have found themselves at a crossroads in life. I have experience with a vast array of clients, as I began my career in community mental health work. I have a passion for working with clients that are impacted by ineffective patterns in life, who have difficulty navigating change and struggle with depression, anxiety, and self-esteem that stem from these patterns. I truly believe people can heal and live great lives!

It's vitally important to find someone you can trust, who 'gets' you; someone who respects your values, the meaning of your most important relationships, and helps you understand the context of the problems you face. You also want a therapist who will be straightforward with you about your role in problems, and what steps you need to take. You want a person with solid credentials and experience, yet who is open and willing to listen, and who will consider a variety of treatment options with you. You need someone who is going to help you be curious about yourself, and explore what a better quality of life means to you.
