Shannon's Approach to Therapy
Shannon's approach to therapy is informed by her training in Mindfulness-Centred Psychotherapy, Attachment Theory, and a trauma-informed, neuroscience-based understanding of healing. She operates from the belief that we are all inherently good, yet it is common to experience periods of feeling emotionally overwhelmed, rigid in our thoughts, and acting in ways that go against the life we hope to create. Counselling with Shannon is an opportunity to engage in a self-study, bringing mindful attention to the parts of us that get in the way; her trauma-informed training supports moving beyond reliving and surviving the past toward creating a different experience in the present. Shannon is LGBTQ-inclusive and affirming in her therapy approaches.
Shannon's Specialties
Since 2008, Shannon has been dedicated to the field of social work, helping individuals navigate healing and personal growth. She believes deeply in the human capacity to grow, change, and cultivate a more fulfilling life, and her therapeutic approach reflects this philosophy. Informed by Level 1 Hakomi training, somatic and mindfulness-centred psychotherapy, developmental psychology, and attachment-based principles, Shannon provides a compassionate path toward self-discovery. With a strong understanding of the effects of interpersonal violence and trauma, she creates a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences and move forward with resilience. In addition to her therapeutic work, Shannon specializes in deathcare, offering sensitive and meaningful support to individuals and families experiencing grief, loss, and end-of-life transitions.
Book with Shannon
I often think of therapy as learning to notice what is happening inside with more kindness and precision. When we understand our protective patterns, we can begin to relate to them differently.
