Accepting Clients

Hi, I'm Shannon. I'm passionate about supporting the mental health of creators and entertainment professionals.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California

Services

About My Clients

I work with actors, writers, directors, producers and executives, musicians, and digital creators. I treat anxiety(internal, social, performance/work related), depression, personality disorders, ADHD, OCD, trauma, relationship distress(family, friends, romantic partner(s), collaborators), and life transitions and purpose.

My Background and Approach

I understand the unique challenges of creative professionals and have extensive experience developing strategies for emotionally navigating the industry, building authentic and meaningful relationships, and cultivating an ongoing and fulfilling career. I work from a non-judgmental stance and use a humanistic, solution-focused approach. I work with CBT, DBT, psychodynamic theory, and narrative therapy, to promote action, understanding and self-acceptance.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone is an expert in their own life and has the answers they seek and my role is to be present and collaborative while they discover and uncover them. I believe in every human being's right to define themselves and to live authentically and think everyone deserves access to culturally competent and affirmative care.
