Shannon works with adults, and children ages 4-8 years of age. In her practice, she has developed a deep desire to work with women who have experienced abuse and trauma during their childhood. Shannon has always worked with people in a helping capacity, starting with her work as an x-ray tech in a hospital setting, then moving forward in her career in the psychological field, working with children in a psychiatric hospital, and now as a therapist.

Shannon is passionate about helping clients experience the wholeness and truth that Christ has for them. It is her desire to assist clients in realizing their full potential, while they gain healing and insight. She understands that it can be difficult for people to reach out for help, and she considers it a privilege to work with clients who are dealing with a variety of issues. Some of the difficulties Shannon assists clients with include, but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, childhood trauma, marital struggles, and spiritual struggles. She believes in the importance of looking at the whole person - not just their symptoms.

Utilizing her clinical background, Shannon utilizes an eclectic approach, focusing on theories that apply attachment principals to trauma and inner-child healing. She integrates other modalities, including cognitive behavioral and experiential techniques. She is happy to incorporate faith practices into sessions, as requested by the client.

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, reading, watching movies, and being near water.
