More about Shannon
- 7 years' experience

- LCSW
As a clinical social worker, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate through challenging times and overcome their mental health struggles. With over 20 years of experience in the field, I have worked in various settings such as hospitals, community mental health centers, and private practice.
I have a special interest in working with individuals struggling with trauma, depression and anxiety issues. My approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and evidence-based practices to help my clients achieve their goals and live fulfilling lives.
Outside of my work, I am a proud 50-year-old mom to three young adults . Balancing my personal and professional life can be challenging at times, but I find great joy in watching my children grow and thrive. As a mother, I bring a unique perspective to my work, understanding the complexities of family dynamics and the importance of supporting individuals in their journey towards healing.
I am committed to continuous learning and professional development to provide the best possible care for my clients. I am grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those I work with and am dedicated to promoting mental health and well-being in my community.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
