Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Virginia. I received my Doctorate degree from William James College in Massachusetts and have been practicing for 3 years. I am an Army Veteran and strive to help those who struggle with major life transitions and mood disorders. My goal is to provide effective evidence-based treatment and teach the skills needed to cope effectively.
In our first session together, we will take time to get to know each other and dive into specific challenges you're facing prior to coming up with a treatment plan together. I believe the most important part of treatment is forming a strong therapeutic alliance and taking the time to foster that relationship.
Having served as a psychologist in the Army, I've worked with a range of problems and have several evidence-based treatments that help to identify the root cause of your problems and give you the skills needed to address those problems.
I love working with active duty Servicemembers, Veterans, and their families. My clients are motivated to change but need support along the way. Whether it's parenting skills, coping skills, anger management, disrupted sleep, or a range of clinical diagnoses, my ultimate goal is to provide the support and tools needed to empower my clients to make their desired changes.

ACT is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on helping individuals accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or avoiding them. It also emphasizes living in alignment with one's core values and engaging in committed action despite the presence of difficult emotions.
CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress.
CBT-I targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to sleep difficulties. CBT-I involves cognitive restructuring, sleep restriction, and stimulus control to improve sleep quality.
CPT helps individuals identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts related to trauma, such as feelings of guilt or self-blame through identifying stuck points and using writing exercises to process the trauma narrative.
Humanistic therapy focuses on fostering a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences.

Shannen is calming, understanding, and easy to laugh with. My sessions feel like I'm talking to a friend while talking through the tough stuff I've been holding inside. We are 6 sessions in, and I've learned from each one thanks to Shannen's guidance.
