First session
The first session is an opportunity to get to know one another. During this initial meeting, Shannon will gather basic information and begin learning about who you are, your background, and what has brought you to therapy. Together, you'll discuss your goals, answer any questions you may have, and begin building a comfortable, trusting therapeutic relationship.
Strengths
One of Shannon's greatest strengths is supporting clients as they discover their own path toward a more peaceful, balanced, and fulfilling life. She provides compassionate guidance, encouragement, and a safe space for growth, empowering each person to move forward with confidence and clarity.
Ideal clients

Individual therapy offers the opportunity to self-reflect and make positive changes.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness therapy is used to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression by training the brain to focus on the present moment without judgment.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is used in therapy to resolve ambivalence and boost intrinsic motivation for positive behavioral change, particularly when clients feel resistant or stuck.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered therapy (PCT) is used to foster self-actualization, self-acceptance, and personal growth by providing a non-judgmental, empathetic, and supportive space.
