Introduction

With 18 years of clinical experience, Shannon specializes in the treatment of complex trauma and adverse life experiences. Therapy interventions are tailored to fit each individual client using a variety of evidence based treatment interventions with EMDR at the core of her therapy services. Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.  EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) was developed and researched by Dr. Francine Shapiro for its capacity to tap into the brain’s natural ability to heal itself from adverse life experiences. EMDR uses eye movements or bilateral stimulation to reduce the overwhelming vividness of the way trauma replays in our minds and bodies. Eye movements help our brains work towards a healed way to resolve the conflicts that we still carry with us.
