About Shannon

*currently on maternity leave*

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. I know how overwhelming it can be to look for a therapist and how scary it can feel to open up. First and foremost, my goal is to make this process as comfortable as possible. At the heart of all my work, I focus on building a safe relationship where you can feel seen, heard, and valued. I bring my natural warmth, compassion, genuine care, and curiosity into each session. I believe in the power of a good laugh and enjoy being able to connect with my clients over life’s joys as well as its hardships (therapy isn’t only about reducing the “bad” – it’s about expanding the “good” too!).

Whether you’re feeling stuck, struggling with interpersonal issues, or are having trouble coping, together we can explore what’s contributing to your struggles and work to find a path forward. I believe in the importance of tuning into the moment and feeling your emotions, and often work with clients to learn to slow down and find their own inner wisdom. I strive to create a welcoming environment where you can let your guard down, connect with and embrace different parts of yourself, and learn new skills that can be applied in your everyday life.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, both from the University of British Columbia. I have extensive experience in the helping field working with children, youth, post-secondary students, and adults both individually and in groups. I enjoy working with people across the lifespan and truly believe that healing, positive change, and learning new ways of being are possible at any age.
