Shannon pays attention to identity-related concerns and has experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals.
Her approach centers on helping people notice what matters to them, build coping skills, and take small actions that improve everyday life. She frames therapy as a shared process and meets clients where they are in their recovery or growth.
