Hi! My name is Shannon (wife and mother of 3 first). I feel like saying that first let’s you know I wear many hats such as doctor, nurse, confidant, lawyer, peacemaker, etc. I am also a professional counselor licensed in Georgia with over 14 years of experience working as a mental health therapist/counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, anger issues, mood instability, and daily/life stress. I also helped many people who have experienced various types trauma and/or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is welcoming and engaging. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't presume to know it all and I like my clients to understand I am human just as they are and I am here solely to assist them in their own journey to a more optimistic mental state. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, holistic, and solution-focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards that change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you to be the best you without judgment and insecurities. Remember your counseling journey is your own. It is about YOU!
I look forward to being apart of the light that leads you to the healthier you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
