Hi there, I'm Shannon!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and self-compassion. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself while working toward meaningful, lasting change.

My focus

I enjoy working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and difficulty managing overwhelming emotions. Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating a major life change, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, I’m here to help you build resilience and move toward the life you want.

My approach

I believe therapy should be collaborative, individualized, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help you develop practical tools, gain insight, and create meaningful change both in and outside of sessions.
