At the center of my practice is the belief that we all must learn how to experience the discomfort of feeling and processing difficult emotions. It feels uncomfortable to set boundaries, hold ourselves accountable, hold others accountable, work through addictions with self-love, identify our own maladaptive patterns, and live authentically. In discovering and becoming the authentic version of ourselves, we all must learn to push through the discomfort of vulnerability. I love working as hard as my clients to support them through that discomfort so they can grow through that difficult process!

I love being a therapist. I see firsthand the growth and healing that comes from therapy, but also recognize the difficulty in taking those first steps in seeking help. I am licensed as both a therapist and a school counselor, and have extensive experience in therapy, mental health agencies, schools, and substance abuse treatment. In my office, you will find an open and accepting atmosphere that fosters growth and change.

My goal is to help you find the courage to be the agent of change in your life, and I will support you throughout the healing process. You might be seeking counseling because of anxiety, depression, grief, partnership difficulties, or trauma (recent or past). Personal addiction or the addiction of a loved one is another reason you might seek help. Let me support your sojourn toward wellness.

Sometimes life throws us for a loop–we get into an unexpected situation, a loved one passes away, our relationships are fraught with contention–and we feel stuck.

Shannon with Therapy Solutions is here to help navigate current stressors and concerns.

This all can lead to high stress, anxiety, depression, isolation, a faith crisis, relationship issues, and more. To work through these and other concerns, Shannon helps her clients find clarity, understand the root of the problems, work on relationships, develop new skills, find hope and direction, and create purpose.

Are you going through a faith transition? It can be very lonely and emotionally painful. You're likely experiencing loss and grief on a level you never have known before. It can be so difficult to open up to others around you and the fear of how they might respond can keep you feeling stuck. Cognitive dissonance is a common experience as you try to make sense of things you were told and what you believe. Uncertainty can feel frightening as you've started to deconstruct your entire belief system. You may be feeling betrayal, anxiety, shame, depression or anger as a result of religious trauma.

I graduated from Brigham Young University with a Masters of Education in School Psychology in 1994 and with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 2003. As part of that training, I completed a doctoral level internship in clinical child psychology at Primary Children's Hospital. Since then, I have worked in a variety of settings, specializing in child psychology. The majority of my clinical experience has been in working with children who have been traumatized, but I feel comfortable treating the entire range of childhood psychiatric disorders. Overall, I have been working with emotionally/behaviorally challenged children for over 25 years.

I have worked with a wide variety of people over the years, and have come to recognize both the commonalities in what makes all of us human, but yet uniquely individual at the same time. These commonalities and differences can both sustain us and frustrate us as we seek meaningful engagement with life and others through work, relationships, and continued self-growth. Often people experience internal stress and anxiety as they feel the push and pull between loneliness on the one hand, and the inevitable mix of emotional challenges that can come with attachment with others.
