Clinical Approach

Shannon believes therapy is not a "one-size fits all" approach, and that all individuals and families are unique in their experiences. Therefore, therapy is going to look different for each person and family. While many individuals seek support to address personal concerns, Shannon focuses on the individual within the context of a system to help address those concerns. She highlights how the systems we are all a part of (family, school, work, community) impact us, and how viewing ourselves as a product of our systems can promote the positive change we desire for ourselves.

Shannon enjoys getting to know each individual and family, to support them in their challenges, to highlight personal strengths, and to delight with them in their progress. Her areas of strength include, anxiety, depression, adjustments, trauma, and child-adult relationships, as well as, supporting parents with challenges that come along with having a child with extra needs.

Ben is a therapist because he believes everyone is the hero or heroine of their own story, but sometimes life happens, and those stories can get off track or turned around.
