You feel misunderstood. You have complex issues that people too often dismiss or ignore. You are often left feeling invalidated and unheard.
Perhaps you feel you have trouble living a whole and fulfilled life in the context of your struggles. You feel like no one can help you. You often feel misunderstood and empty inside.
Hello, I am Shannon …
And I get it.
I am adventurous and always willing to learn, whether learning is in a classroom or learning new perspectives in practical situations. Some of my strongly held personal values include growth and purpose. Outside of therapy I love to garden, write, and spend time with my family and friends.
What is it like working with me …
Empathy comes first. I use a person-centered approach, often with a blend of appropriate and evidence-based therapeutic modalities. You are unique and we will work together to find what best suits your needs.
I know and believe things will change …
I have found that people have the incredible ability to accept themselves where they are at and work towards something that better suits their needs and experiences. It is a process that takes time and effort, but when people are willing to put in that effort, their perspective on life's challenges often change.
But is there hope for me?
If you are asking this, you already have made the first step towards change. There is hope.
