Shannon has been really great to talk to as I have been going through the loss of a loved one and the end of a relationship. I’ve found her to be a very good listener and that she has been able to offer me great feedback. I feel like Shannon cares about helping me find healthy solutions and is really great at making me feel supported. I have felt lost quite a few times in the past year and she has been able to work through my feelings and thoughts and I have felt heard and understood. She shares valuable insights that resonate and is so knowledgeable. She is responsive and kind to me. Very professional . I feel fortunate being connected to her.

Shannon has a lot of life experience and is a great communicator. She makes me feel supported, validated, and a little less crazy. She and I have a lot in common and I am so grateful I was paired with her.

We’ve only had one session together so far and we vibed instantly. She has made me feel so seen and validated and has not come off judgmental or preachy or close minded. She’s so unapologetic and down to earth and that’s the kind of energy I want in my life. I guess it really is third times the charm because I had two therapists before this and I always just felt disconnected. She doesn’t make me feel that way and that’s a huge win for me.

Shannon is very sweet and dedicated to her patients. Her empathy has helped a lot, as well as her not being afraid to tell you her honest opinion. She has a very good balance of not sugar-coating it, but not downplaying it either.

Shannon is someone who is patient. She has allowed me to make the first steps so that I don’t feel rushed or forced or get spooked by the experience. But she is funny and encouraging to remind me how good it is when I do take those steps

As a newbie to therapy and the wounds of my inner child and what it looks like to heal those parts of myself, it was a relief to meet Shannon. Getting your shit together feels so intimidating, but she’s incredibly friendly and resourceful! I feel comfortable with her and that’s so important when needing to explore yourself. Highly recommend!
