I have had seven years of counseling experience working with children, adolescents and adults in individual, group and family sessions utilizing evidence-based practices. I have also provided faith-based services for clients wanting to integrate their Christian faith into their counseling. I completed my Masters of Arts in Counseling at Western Seminary, in Portland, Oregon, where I received Bible and Theology courses in addition to my counseling courses, as well as specialized courses in how to integrate faith into a counseling setting. I also have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Central Washington University.
I have received training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy Plus, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy along with many workshops and trainings for continuing education with depression, anxiety and trauma. I have an additional special interest in early life and family of origin, and how these early experiences and relationships can affect us throughout our lives-- the modality I often use in exploring this is Schema Therapy.
I would be honored to walk alongside you and support you in your life.
Thank you!

I feel I got lucky with getting Shannon as a therapist. She's incredibly encouraging, understanding, and kind. I didn't know what to expect getting therapy, but I discovered more about myself than I ever anticipated, and Shannon has been instrumental in my journey to mental health.

She is lovely. She offers support and encouragement when needed. Is insightful and helpful in brainstorming as well. No pressure in any of the “assignments” given. Knowledgeable and just seems to know the right thing to say at the right time.
