I work with adults in both individual and group psychotherapy to help them address a range of concerns such as trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I specialize in working with trans and queer individuals, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

Hello there! My name is Shannon and I am a psychotherapist based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I am currently in the process of obtaining my psychologist license in the state of Wisconsin. I am thrilled to be offering individual and group therapy sessions to clients, under the supervision of Kavitha Venkateswaran, Ph.D. (WI # 3742-57). Along with my clinical work, I also work as an adjunct professor and support counselors-in-training at Carroll and Marquette University.

Psychotherapy can have a profound impact when there is a good match between the client and therapist. During sessions, I bring a curious, humorous, and compassionate approach to assist clients in understanding and shifting patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating. Exploring these aspects can contribute to better understanding and addressing symptoms, distress, and disconnection. If you find my approach resonates with you and you're interested in exploring how psychotherapy can benefit you, please get in touch with me to schedule a 10-15 minute introductory call.
