You might feel like you are "too much" or "not enough," constantly walking on eggshells to avoid rejection or conflict. I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals navigating complex trauma, including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and self-esteem challenges.

In crafting personalized treatment plans, I draw from mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic approaches, play therapy, and attachment theories, integrating principles of trauma-informed therapy and IFS-informed approaches to provide comprehensive support tailored to your unique needs.
If you’re looking for a space to be yourself and figure things out, you’re in the right place. I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, parenting challenges, and life transitions. When stress, loss, or big changes start to disrupt daily life or relationships, therapy offers support, perspective, and a place to pause and make sense of what’s happening. I integrate neuroscience and an understanding of the nervous system into therapy so it feels natural, useful, and relevant in real life.

Life is full of stressors, and these stressors probably got more complicated by surrounding crisis like the pandemic. YOU are not the only one; you are not alone in this. Help is always there for those who seek it. You could have anxiety or you could have gone through traumatic experience, and going through grief. You could be struggling with substance use, or have unmet goals of yours. I hope that you know the real value of counseling therapy. Although it has been recognized as a treatment for those who truly need it, it is also the road to learn how to cope with the points and situations we struggle with during our daily lives.

The clients Shannon works with are often children, teens, older adults, and families facing seasons of deep emotional pain. Some are grieving significant losses. Others are struggling with overwhelming feelings, self-harm, or changes they don’t yet understand. Many feel scared, unsure how to ask for help, or worried about what these struggles mean. What they want most is to feel safe, understood, and supported, without judgment, while finding a way forward that feels steady and manageable.

Play Therapy
Who is play therapy for?
Play therapy is generally targeted to children between the ages of 3 and 11 who have social, emotional, or behavioral difficulties. Play therapy has also been found helpful for children who have experienced physical or emotional abuse or witnessed atrocities. Play therapy is also often recommended for children who are undergoing major medical procedures or who are suffering from chronic illness; many children’s hospitals are equipped to offer play therapy on-site. Play therapy is also sometimes used for adults; creative writing, music, and art are expressive forms that can all be adapted for therapeutic purposes.
Why do people need play therapy?
Children often do not have the language skills or words to know or to express what is troubling them. Yet they often spontaneously draw or use playthings to depict scenarios that reflect problems in their everyday life. Play therapy provides children with an array of objects and play situations to act out their feelings or experiences so that therapists can get a clear picture of what children might be struggling with and help them find solutions. In addition, play therapists are skilled at helping children understand their inner experience and find words for them, necessary steps toward helping children learn to control their own behavior and come up with solutions to problems they encounter.
What happens in play therapy?
A child enters a comfortable playroom where they are free to choose the objects they want to play with. The play therapist will typically observe how they play with the toys—whether a sandbox, puppets, dolls and action figures, trucks, costumes, drawing and painting materials, or more—because such play provides clues to a child’s family and social relationships, difficulties they are encountering in the world, and what going on inside themselves. Sometimes the therapist may ask the child to use the play objects to tell a story about their family. Using the same instruments of play, therapists can help children discover more advantageous ways of thinking and behaving.
What kinds of problems do play therapists treat?
Play therapy can help children who display destructive or self-destructive impulses; children who seem angry, sad, or fearful; children who experience frequent social, emotional, family, or school difficulty. Play therapy is often of value to children who have experienced a loss or distressing family experience, who are regularly exposed to family conflict, or who have been physically or emotionally abused. Play therapy can help children who are perpetrators of bullying as well as those who are targets of bullying. It helps children learn to identify their feelings, to express them in constructive ways, and to regulate them so they can get on with the business of development.
How long does play therapy last?
Play therapy sessions may last for 30 to 45 minutes, and they usually occur weekly for about 20 sessions. Each session is tailored to the individual child and the kinds of problems they are struggling with. Play that is highly repetitive often indicates a problem requiring further exploration. Therapists typically measure progress through session-to-session changes in play behavior.
