Does stress and anxiety interfere with your life? Are you pushing yourself too hard or feel people walk all over you? Have trouble communicating with others? If you're looking for ways to cope when Life "lifes" you, then counseling may be right for you. I am committed to helping individuals, couples and families from all walks of life increase their communication skills, improve their relationships, and feel connected to themselves.
I am a trauma-informed therapist with 12 years experience working alongside women, men and families dealing with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationships and self-esteem.
I establish a genuine, trusting relationship with my clients allowing them to express their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I believe everyone has a right to be heard, is capable of change, and has the power within themselves to create a life they love.

During my time with Shannon, I have felt seen, I have felt valued and I have felt comfortable. She has an inquisitive approach to therapy and shows up fully present for our conversations. She’s thoughtful in her approach, gentle when needed and stern when required. She’s created a safe space and is a pleasure to work with

I feel supported and overwhelmed with compassion during each session with Shannon Oberndorf. My self-esteem and self-confidence has increased significantly since working with Shannon 2 months ago.

I sensed a caring individual and a competent therapist even from my first session. But to see the joy in her eyes on my reporting a better week with anxiety, that shows the empathy, you can’t get that in training. I’ve been teaching medical students for decades and this has been the most resounding observation. You can’t teach empathy.
