I like to learn about my members, who they are, what they do, and what they hope to achieve by starting treatment. I often speak about OCD as if it is a separate person who wants to exert control over your life and your choices. I want to help empower you to reclaim ownership of your life and your choices through setting boundaries with OCD and making impactful behavioral changes. My past experience in counseling largely centered on college students, LGBTQIA+ communities, neurodivergent populations, depression, anxiety, and women's issues.

Why our members love working with Shannon
H.T.
Would recommend to anyone who wants neurodivergent / queer affirming support. Shannon is highly empathetic and is capable of understanding a wide range of perspectives and validating experiences of the marginalized. She has a deep understanding of OCD and can provide profound insight.

This is probably a dramatic sentence to start with, but it’s also the point of therapy. Working with Shannon has changed my life for the better. She is kind, patient, full of wonderful ideas and truly cares that her patients have the best life possible. I’m so thankful to know her and be a part of this program. Thank you so much Shannon!
J.A.
I like Shannon. I find her relatable.
P.M.
Shannon has been one of the best therapists I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. Her sense of humor, compassion, and capacity to challenge me to grow beyond what I thought I could do again in my life has meant the complete world to me, especially as a queer woman of color at the intersection of multiple diagnosis (OCD, PTSD, depression. Each week, I’ve felt myself become braver and more unapologetically myself when combatting two of my biggest monsters: trauma and OCD. I recommend her as a therapist to anyone looking to feel a little more braver and to realize that that power was within you all along. Thank you Shannon!!!
