Shanna is a wonderful person. She has so much advice and understanding for life and challenges that happen. She listens and engages in ways that helped me feel comfortable and understood.

She also challenged me in ways to guide my mindset and strengthen values and roots within myself. I loved her approach and perspective on a lot of things. I would recommend her.

Shanna cares! She listens and gives any applicable advice to the situation. She gives preventative steps/actions you can take, and helps clarify things that are confusing.

I love that Shanna listens to all of my needs and sets me on the right path to recovery in a healthy way. I can rely on her to get me into a more positive mindset and feel validated in how I am feeling about my grief and life hardships. I would recommend her to anyone I know.
