Hi, I am a License Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience in treating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, grief and loss. I specialize in pregnancy wellness, reproductive and maternal mental health with a focus on postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, pregnancy loss and infertility. I am certified in both Compassionate Bereavement Care (CBC) and Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMH-C).

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with a brief introduction followed by a conversation about your personal and mental health history. We will also talk about specific challenges you are facing and what brings you to therapy.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I work to tailor treatment towards each individual's needs and I encourage my clients to feel empowered in the therapeutic process.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with people who often feel very alone and isolated by their depression or anxiety. I love working with women who are struggling with infertility, pregnant, or postpartum as these struggles are very common yet incredibly isolating.

I felt very comfortable with Shanon on the first (intake) session. I think we are a good match. Insightful questions and helpful recommendations/solutions.

It's really good to get feedback about my thoughts. It's also really great to see how she thinks about everything I say. At this point she thoroughly remembers who I am and what I have going on in my life. She encourages me to advocate for myself. I feel like we are getting more done now, and more quickly. She's positive and insightful.
