Helping others in chaos and finding order is a path that is very comfortable for me to navigate. As a Life Coach/Professional Organizer, my passion is to help people create an improved quality of life and a healthy environment through organizing. It can be overwhelming when clutter starts taking over the physical space but it also diminishes the mental and emotional state of individuals causing paralysis and stagnation. My ability to see the potential, which guides the work I do with individuals, helping them understand where they are at the present moment and then giving them the direction to create results.

Hello, this is Shannon, I’m passionate about mental health and helping others to not just survive, but thrive. Although I’ve been a licensed therapist for over 13 years, life experiences as a mom to 3 boys, a military spouse and a military Veteran myself, have helped evolve and shape me into the therapist that I am today. Throughout the therapeutic process, I will interweave and focus on key lifestyle factors that may be contributing to a clients current emotional state, such as diet/nutrition, movement, sleep, and spirituality.

I have experience with teens and adults with PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD and those on the autism spectrum.
I have New Client Openings! Have you ever felt like the odd one out in a world that seems to march to a different beat? Perhaps you've been told you're a bit eccentric, a whirlwind of creativity and wit, yet at times, you've felt like a bull in a china shop, navigating life's delicate moments with a touch of unpredictability. Maybe whispers of ADHD or ADD have reached your ears, but the labels don't quite align with your unique journey through adulthood.

You’ve carried a lot to get here — stories, survival, strategies, and pieces of yourself that show up to protect you. I hold a quiet, attentive space where those parts can be heard and understood rather than judged. My work is client centered and trauma-informed: I honor the wisdom of your system, track the different parts that show up in session, and support a deeper understanding of how those parts function in your life. My practice is unique because I use a gentle, intuitive stance to learn about the different parts of you.

I work with children, teens, and adults who are struggling with a variety of challenges (anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, etc.).
The reality of life is that it is hard. I genuinely love what I do because I get to help people learn how to find ways to make the hard times feel more manageable, and find and create more of the beautiful moments. It truly is an honor to be able to walk alongside someone as they discover how to enhance their life. My style is client-centered, as I believe it is important to meet my clients right where they’re at on their journeys. I believe our minds are incredible: incredibly complex yet thankfully also malleable. I value being able to provide a therapy environment that is safe, calm, and confidential.

Teen Therapists

What does therapy for teenagers look like?

When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?

There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?

You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
