Words can’t express the gratitude and appreciation I have for Shannon! She’s seen me at my worst and has seen me grow within six months ! I was very skeptical about Therapy until I met Shannon, she’s taught me a lot from handling my emotions to learning how to find beauty within myself. <3 I’m indebted to Shannon for her time and her kindness!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Shannon is great at what she does and has made my experience talking to a therapist something that I actually look forward to.
Shannon is the ultimate companion on my therapy journey. She is incredibly personable and easy to talk to but also challenges me to discover route causes and dynamics that are better for my overall being. She is flexible and provides multiple avenues for communication. She provides resources that are easy to use and at my pace. She is organized and is able to structure conversations and sessions in ways that help me progress one step at a time. She is truly a master of this craft and an excellent therapist. Thank you Shannon.
Shannon is very personable and comfortable to talk to. It makes it easier to talk about things you really don't want to talk about when there is a comfort zone there. I look forward to our chats.
