About me

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with many years of experience as a therapist, wellness coach, and self-help author. I utilize a flexible therapy approach that combines empathy with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused strategies to help individuals work through difficulties and feel more empowered and fulfilled in their daily lives. Although I treat both men and women in my therapy practice, I have a specialty in women's issues and women's health, with particular expertise in the areas of depression, anxiety, wellness and self-care, health behaviors, adjustment to motherhood, stress management, chronic illness/pain, body image, eating disorders, and weight loss.

In my work as a therapist, I value my clients' own goals and desires for counseling, while bringing my professional expertise, ideas, and strategies to the table.

Please note: I am currently only seeing clients for therapy sessions in the early evenings and on Saturdays.

I’ve been working with Dr. Shannon for about two years and she has been so supportive and understanding and gives very good advice. I’ve come a long way since I started meeting with her. I don’t know what I would do without her!
