About

My name is Shannon, I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California since 2012. I received my Masters of Social Work degree from San Francisco State University. I have over 10 years of experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is cultural respectful/inclusive, reflective, empathic, and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I do not believe in projecting judgement or stigmatizing labels. I will use cognitive-behavioral, motivational dialogue, person-centered and solution-focused interventions, during sessions. Importantly, I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to be specific to your unique needs. Taking the first steps to explore counseling is inspiring and takes courage. I pride myself on creating a safe and supportive space where a person can be listened to, have their emotions validated, and not judged. I look forward to working with you!
