Shannon is an experienced, compassionate counselor who believes everyone deserves understanding, empathy, and support as they find their path toward a meaningful and fulfilling life. Through validation and empowerment, she helps clients build a deeper relationship with themselves, fostering growth, self-trust, and lasting change.
Shannon approaches therapy from a trauma-informed lens, recognizing the profound impact trauma has on the body, mind, and behaviors. She integrates evidence-based practices—including CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR, and play therapy—to help clients access old wounds, understand long-standing patterns, and create space for healing and transformation.
Shannon’s core belief is that the behaviors we may judge as “wrong” or broken are not who we are, but adaptive patterns developed to survive difficult moments in life. She is deeply committed to empowering her clients to recognize these patterns as signs of resilience and strength, while building patterns aligned with the life they want to live.

I am most fond of ACT where we will build strength in emotional awareness and values based commitments to move into changes that are sustainable for yourself. In times where traumas are significant enough to keep you from feeling the confidence to move forward, we might move into EMDR to alleviate the distress this brings up and allow more positive movement towards our goals.
