I hold two Masters degrees, one in Medical Anthropology and another in Counseling. I have over 20 years of experience working in behavioral health and in the healthcare field as a therapist, coach, trainer, educator and in various leadership roles at healthcare facilities. I'm a Certified Master Practitioner, Coach and Trainer of Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Time Line Therapy with thousands of hours of experience using NLP in therapy, coaching and training.
I see coaching as a process in which you, the client, and I, the coach, having come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals. As a coach I believe my professional approach to helping is ultimately to guide people to the powerful realization of the power of self-determination we each have within ourselves with which we can achieve an integrated and holistic state of wellness.
I believe that people have all the resources that they need to find happiness and contentment in their lives. Discovering the self-awareness and self-acceptance of these resources can take time to achieve. Some people require only a few coaching sessions to achieve a holistic state of wellness, others need months or years of coaching. You, as a person, are in complete control of our relationship and may terminate it at any time and I will support your decision.

Shannon is just what the doctor ordered… need to process so much and he is a great listener and is positive; full of resources and good at “the gift of a question” which helped me see going to a funeral is not always saying good bye. I needed to figure that out and have some grief work to do. Thank you Shannon. Sleep may one day return for me… that would be a blessing. I love that he is comfortable with my faith, also; his assistance is actually calming me and giving me the-pause-for-me that I need right now. God bless you Shannon

Thank you Shannon for providing me practical tools to refer to and be aware of as I continue my healing journey. I appreciate you immensely.

Shannon is easy to talk to and has a friendly, understanding air. I appreciate that he takes a practical, head-on approach to problems but also can provide in-depth, deep-dive resources on the theory and thinking behind a therapeutic method. I wasn't sure about BetterHelp, but I lucked out by getting matched with Shannon.

Written on May 10, 2023 after therapy with Shannon for 11 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and career difficulties
Shannon listens to what I have to say and cares about what is going on in my life. Over the past year he has given me the tools I need to deal with my anxiety and has improved my quality of life exponentially. When we first began I was on the verge of making a very rushed, career altering decision based on my mental state and he was able to get me back on track. Looking back, this will definitely be a pivotal moment in my life. There is still lots for me to work on but I have the tools and support to continue to grow and better my mental health further.
