More about Shannon

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

My approach to therapy goes beyond simply talking about problems; it’s about facing them head-on with the right skills, knowledge, and confidence as you grow into the person you’re meant to be—again and again. I help you see your worth and guide you in practicing self-compassion, even when it’s a difficult choice to make.

Before diving into profound changes, I believe it’s important to take time to truly understand each other and uncover the deeper truths that might be keeping you stuck in negative patterns.  Together, we’ll work to clear through the fog and find the clarity you need. We all want to feel seen, and I strive to see you for who you truly are, with acceptance and non-judgment. At the same time, I’ll be direct in challenging the narratives that hold you back from becoming the person you need to be for yourself.

I specialize in early childhood trauma, complex PTSD, and attachment issues, with a deep understanding of how early traumatic experiences can impact your ability to cope with life’s challenges. My approach centers around building life skills, fostering resilience, and nurturing a healthy, empowered self-image. Ultimately, my aim is to help you achieve a sense of inner peace and fulfillment.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
