The essence of her therapy is to ensure that clients leave with a clearer mind, equipped with the answers they’ve been seeking. Shannon knows that sometimes all one needs is a companion in navigating through difficult stages of life, and she firmly believes that prioritizing mental health is the most impactful decision one can make.
