Hello, I'm Shannon.

I have over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, teens, individuals, couples, and families from culturally diverse populations on a wide range of issues and concerns

It is my belief that once an individual understands the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, they will then be able to modify or change their pattern(s) of thinking to cope with stressors in a positive manner.

I am licensed in California, Colorado, and Texas.

At this time, I only provide services virtually through a secure telehealth system.

Four things I want you to know before you begin therapy with me:

1. I want treatment to work just as much as you do.

2. I am not judging you, and need to hear all of your truth(s) in order to best support you. You can't heal what you won't reveal.

3. I will not fight you for your healing.

What that means is: I will not work harder than you do.

However, I will be right there beside you as we navigate your Mental Health journey together.

4. If you don't connect with me, that's okay. Don't be afraid to try someone new, and to keep trying until you find the right fit.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

We are all trying to make it through this thing called life. What may be important or matter to one person, may not be important or matter to another. Keeping this in mind: After each session with me, I believe you will leave feeling heard, seen and understood regarding the things that are important and matter to you ... which is all any of us really want right?

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I am adept in a variety of therapy techniques. My approach is collaborative. I believe that by working together, a positive outcome is achievable. I provide a warm, open, non-judgmental environment where one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are explored and discussed in an objective, respectful, and empathetic manner.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths:

One of my biggest strengths in providing mental health services is that I really do listen and I really do care about the things you share with me.
When you will tell me something in a session, weeks later I can and will remember the who, what, when, where, why, and how of the conversation.
While I am in no way saying I am perfect, I do have a pretty good track record when it comes to this particular strength.

I look forward to working with you!
