More about Shannon

- LMFT
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. Over my career, I've worked with clients navigating stress, anxiety, addiction, family conflicts, and grief. I'm particularly passionate about helping people cultivate self-love, improve communication, and work through guilt, shame, and forgiveness—especially during difficult life changes like divorce and separation.
My approach is grounded in compassion and a deep respect for each person's unique journey. I understand that healing often involves examining our relationships with ourselves and others, and I'm committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where that work can happen.
For clients who value faith as part of their healing process, I'm honored to integrate Christian perspectives into our work together. I believe that therapy is most effective when it honors your whole self—including your values and beliefs.
I'm here to walk alongside you with care, honesty, and genuine support as you move toward greater peace and wholeness.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
