Meet Shannon

Hi, I am Shannon, and I have been where you are. In the past, I trapped myself in a cycle of “what could be,” constantly fixating on the future or past instead of living in the present.

I believed that the life I wanted would fall into place if external circumstances changed. Feeling mentally drained, negative, and unable to show up authentically for my loved ones, I knew something needed to change. Through yoga, therapy, and mindset work, I learned to be in the moment, move energy through my body, redirect my negative thought patterns, reconnect to my feelings, and plan a life I was proud to call my reality. 

This practice led to a profound shift. I became an observer of my life, understanding the connection between body and mind. I dove into books on rewiring the brain, challenging limiting beliefs, and understanding attachment styles, boundaries, and communication. I transformed my life by letting go of people and situations that no longer served me and taking responsibility for my time and energy. 

Over time, I became an expert in using movement and breathwork to release stress and connect with the self. I earned a degree as a Marriage and Family Therapist to assist clients in understanding how culture, family, society, mental illness, and relationships shape us and that the mind is a battlefield that needs our attention. With a direct, collaborative approach, I help clients rewire their negative thinking, uncover the patterns from childhood or survival mode that no longer serve them, and heal from past trauma.

My core values—authenticity, self-awareness, kindness, loyalty, and play—guide everything I do. I encourage honest conversations to strengthen relationships with clients, always bringing my true self to sessions. By tackling mind and body as a unit, I help individuals and couples transform their relationships with themselves and others.

If you need a therapist to help you explore your past, internal processes, or relationships, I’m here for you. If you need a coach to rediscover yourself, stay accountable to your goals, and manage life’s stress, I’ve got you covered, too.

“Your brain is constantly looking for proof and evidence to reinforce the reality you are creating; we must be intentional where we direct our awareness, time, and energy.”
