Emotionally Focused Therapy

EFT is a structured approach to couples therapy that prioritizes the importance of emotional connection and attachment.

It helps partners identify and understand their emotional responses and patterns within their relationship.

How it works:

Through guided conversations and interventions, couples learn to express their needs and feelings, more effectively fostering deeper intimacy and trust.

EFT is particularly effective for addressing issues such as conflict, communication, breakdowns, and emotional disconnection.

EFT helps couples build stronger, more resilient bonds.

Welcome. I‘m Shannon...

I‘m a licensed psychotherapist and a certified yoga therapist. This means my clients and group participants get a unique and effective therapy experience that builds a bridge between their minds and bodies. By developing a strong mind-body connection, my clients improve their mental and emotional stability so they can feel calmer, make better choices, and improve their relationships -- especially during times of confusion, transition, or discomfort.

“What‘s unique about working with Shannon (and I love so much) is how I‘m able to set my mind aside for awhile and feel into my inner world. At the end of a session I feel a deep sense of peace around things I‘d been mentally wrestling with. I‘m also able to move through my day with a lot more confidence.“

“This therapy helped me to practice awareness, acceptance and gave me the tools to guide me through my day-to-day decisions, and to keep me aware of my thoughts and emotions. Shannon is an excellent teacher, listener and guides through the yoga practice with ease. Having other people to talk to in a safe place was also very helpful for me to not feel like I was alone.”
