I’ve had therapists for many years but Shannon is one of a kind. I’ve had all female therapists except for one but I didn’t care for him. When I came here I requested a man thinking I have to change it up, somehow I ended up with Shannon and its been a wonderful learning experience ever since. She’s tough on me when I need it and she’s very kind, compassionate & loving at the same time. My world was upside down when we first spoke and I was ready to crumble and she pulled me up out of the mud and brushed me off. She’s an angel and I’m grateful for her! Thank you!

Shannon has been nothing but amazing. I’ve done therapy before, but this is the first time I’m able to actually change some behaviors I’ve been working on for a decade. Kind, patient, and not afraid to hold a mirror up for you, when you need it. I love working with Shannon, and hope to continue to work with as long as possible.
