Therapy Sessions | Bespoke Super Sessions | In Person (YYC)

Hi, I’m Shannon 👋

Are you feeling a bit lost, constantly 'on,' or overwhelmed by current stressors? Whatever you’re carrying—whether it's a big life change, a brain that won't quiet down, or a feeling you can't quite name—I'm here for it. I provide a warm, grounded space where we can slow down, take a breath, and figure it out together.

By integrating IFS (Internal Family Systems), DBT, and somatic work, I help you address how your body holds stress. Whether it’s the transition into parenthood or the unique hurdles of ADHD or autism, I provide a grounded space for the "messy" parts of life. I believe in healing that feels human, collaborative, and deeply real.

What it’s like to work with me…

Compassionate resilience for all parts of you.

Finding your footing when overwhelm happens.

Collaboration; you are the expert of your life.

I believe…

You’ve just been doing your best to navigate a world that can be loud, fast, and overwhelming. The ways you’ve learned to cope aren't 'defects'—they're the ways you've kept yourself going. We won't try to 'fix' you; we’ll work on helping you feel safe enough to try something new."

We can’t always think our way out of feeling stuck. Sometimes, your mind knows what to do, but your body hasn't caught up yet. We’ll work on creating a sense of calm that you can actually feel, not just talk about

A Space to Just Be. Aside from my education and training, I’m a real person—a mother, a nature-lover, and life-long learner—who knows that life can be complicated and messy. I bring tools to help you manage the 'right now' (like finding your footing when you're overwhelmed) while we also look at the bigger picture. We go at your pace, focusing on what feels most important to you today.

My Approach

  • As a mother and therapist, I know the raw, heavy reality of living in survival mode and the grit it takes to move back toward a state of ease. We work towards unique healing for your journey and momentum towards sustainable living using therapeutic approaches like:

    -Psychosensory techniques

    -Polyvagal Theory

    -IFS

    -DBT

    -ACT 

    -Emotionally Focused Therapy

  • I work with individuals and couples with a focus on creating a grounded nervous system and stress-resilience

    • ADHD & Neurodivergent Folks: Finding strategies that work with your brain instead of fighting against it.

    • Parents: Navigating the identity shifts of parenthood, feeling "touched-out," or managing the heavy load of family life.

    • Undergrad & Grad Students: Managing the unique pressures of academia, from coursework burnout to the "spinning" feeling of big life transitions.

    • Perfectionists & The Burnt Out: Helping high-achievers trade constant performance for genuine contentness and healing.

    If you’ve ever felt like ‘Im failing at things that should be easy’ or ‘I dont know how to turn off the noise in my head’ you’re in the right place. We’ll work together to move beyond your survival patterns and build a life that supports you in this season.
