Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

Shannon has over 20 years experience working with children and families in various settings. She has worked for high profile families, including The Royal Family of Saudi Arabia. She has over 11 years experience working as a therapist with a highly diverse population of individuals, couples, children, adolescents and families. Shannon has a positive supportive manner with a direct solution focused approach. Shannon is down to earth and uses laughter, humor, art, music and creativity to reach children, adolescents and adults.

Her focus is in the present. Working with each client to purge past painful experiences, improve functioning and decrease maladaptive symptoms through skill acquisition and utilization. Tailored sessions to meet client needs with collaboration concerning goals assist the individual to meet their potential and live life fully and positively.

When Shannon is not working, she is surfing, creating, making art or music. Shannon also appreciates education and learning and is regularly pursuing educational goals. Currently she continues to pursue her doctorate with a plan to continue to help children, teens, parents and families.
