Hi! I'm Chanin (pronounced Shannon) I'm so glad you're here. Maybe you find yourself overwhelmed, on guard, and people pleasing. Maybe you say "I'm fine" when you feel anything but. You do not have to carry this alone, and healing is possible. I am passionate about helping clients deal with overwhelming life experiences and find healing. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered (and share a laugh or two!)
With Masters degree in Social Work from Widener University' I offer an integrative, compassionate approach combining emotional insight with practical tools for change.
I’m committed to lifelong growth, through continued education, supervision, and personal exploration which allows me to be fully present and effective in my work. This is a value I hold deeply, both in my own life and in the therapeutic relationships I build with clients. If this resonates with you, I’d be honored to connect and see if we are a good fit!

She is awesome. Thoughtful, easy to talk to and has great input and just keeps it real, caring but challenges you.

Chanin is so kind! She is a great therapist and is really good at listening to my needs, providing support, and challenging my thoughts. She wants me to continue to grow and loves setting goals, which is a great way to track my progress.

Chanin just gets me. She understands my 3 areas that I’d like to work on and has already provided valuable insight. She’s very relatable. Highly recommended
