I’m Shannon
My straight-no-chaser approach to therapy is rooted in care, guided by intention, and focused on meaningful results.
Real Talk. Real Growth.
My approach to therapy is simple: I don’t do surface-level work, and I don’t do fluff. Therapy with me is structured, relational, and deeply client-centered.
I use a blend of therapeutic approaches because no two people—and no two sessions—are the same. Some days we’re unpacking history, some days we’re building skills.
The “Therapy Auntie” Energy
Clients often describe me the same way people in my personal life do: like an auntie— relatable, real, grounded, and direct.
I’ll challenge you, call you out when needed, and still sit with you through the tears, frustration, and grief.
Who I Work Best With
Black Women Reclaiming Clarity & Identity
You’ve shown up for everyone else, and now you’re asking who you are without all that. I help you quiet the noise so you can reconnect with your true self.
Adults Carrying Too Much for Too Long
You look fine on paper but feel exhausted inside. We separate responsibility from self-worth and rebuild boundaries that protect your peace.
People-Pleasers & Over-Resolvers
If you’re always fixing and sacrificing, therapy becomes a space to learn how to say “no” without guilt.
Clients Healing from Family Patterns & Trauma
If “normal” never felt calm or safe, we explore survival patterns—not to blame you, but to free you.
Men Relearning Strength Through Vulnerability
Therapy here is about strength that feels human. You don’t have to armor up—you can feel and still be strong.
Clients Ready for Honest, Insightful Work
You don’t need all the answers. You just need the courage to explore your truth and grow.
What the First Few Sessions Feel Like
The first sessions are about safety, pace, and connection.
I’ll check in with you in real time—how you’re feeling in the moment, what it’s like to be here, and what made you reach out now. Nervousness is normal.
Early sessions are about learning you from your perspective. You’re the expert on your life. I’m here to listen, understand, and build a foundation for deeper work as we go.
Privacy & Confidentiality
Your privacy is deeply respected in therapy. Everything shared in session is kept confidential, with few legal exceptions that we’ll review in our first meeting. This is your space—to be honest, vulnerable, and real.
We’ve Got You
Whether you're new to therapy or returning after time away, this is a space to land and begin again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you give homework?
Only when it’s useful. Practical reflection or small behavioral steps can help solidify insights we uncover in sessions.
How do you handle heavy or uncomfortable topics?
Directly, respectfully, and with steady support. We name what matters most without rushing pain that needs space.
Is therapy with you structured or conversational?
Both. Early sessions have structure so I can understand where you’re starting from. After that, our work flows based on what matters most to you.
Do you take cultural or spiritual context into account?
Yes. Your identity, lived experience, values, and faith all inform how we understand patterns and meaning in your life.
Is this a good fit if I’m new to therapy?
Absolutely. Therapy should feel clear, not confusing. You’re guided into understanding—not overwhelmed by jargon.
What do clients often experience in therapy with you?
Honesty without judgment, warmth without coddling, and clarity without confusion.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
Therapy is a process—but every journey starts with clarity. Schedule your first session or reach out with questions. You don’t have to do this alone.
