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.
Written on Nov 15, 2023 after therapy with Shannon for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, grief, self esteem, bipolar disorder, and adhd
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.
