Hi, I'm Shannon - I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety-related disorders—including panic disorder and agoraphobia—as well as depression, chronic illness, relationship concerns, and complex trauma. I especially enjoy working with high-achieving and deep-feeling individuals who grapple with chronic stress, perfectionism, and burnout. I understand first-hand how these patterns often develop as ways to manage pressure or maintain control—yet over time, can lead to emotional exhaustion, self-doubt, and disconnection from one’s needs.
