I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have spent over 18 years collaborating therapeutically with individuals, families, and schools. My passion is to help people learn ways to capitalize on their strengths, to help create an openness to gain improved skills, and to provide support as clients set a path towards improved day-to-day functioning. My experience has allowed me to help children, adolescents, and adults in private practice, juvenile justice settings, community settings, and school settings.
I now work exclusively in private practice and specialize in working with adults. I have treated a wide variety of conditions and have developed specialties in supporting those affected by depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, parenting concerns, coping difficulties, and chronic illness.
I have a wealth of respect for those who choose to enter counseling. My goal is to provide a supportive and collaborative counseling environment so that you can use your strengths as a spring board to help achieve healing and growth.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW-S, Registered Play Therapist
As a psychotherapist and registered play therapist, my goal is to help you and your family uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges.
My background in mental healthcare enables me to bring a new perspective to people navigating stressful transitions and confronting difficult issues in their lives. I help people move forward with self compassion and increased understanding of themselves and others. The treatment I do is designed to meet individual concerns and needs. Greater clarity and new insights lead to successful resolutions.
I am honored when clients allow me to embark on their journey together toward healing and a better sense of well-being. It is also about allowing me to sit with them in their present awareness of reality and not feel so isolated from their thoughts and emotions. Everyone's story is different and unique to their circumstances and dynamics. Seeing a client truly feel heard and finding their voice when they thought it was lost is a profound experience. It can be a reminder their story is not over, but a new chapter is unfolding. Whether I see an individual, couple, or family, I can have an outside-looking-in perspective that the client may not see otherwise.

I believe I have 2 superpowers. One is listening and the other is being curious. These create a powerful amalgam for change when used with proven therapeutic tools. Change can be scary, but sometimes we take a step into the unknown in spite of our fear. I believe this is being brave. That is the step that can move you toward the change and understanding you want.
I believe we have the power within us to solve our problems, but trauma and stress can hide the answers we seek. We'll work together, exploring your feelings, thoughts and behaviors, to discover your unmet needs and find solutions that will lead to a happier and healthier you.
Oby has over 10 years of clinical experience and is licensed to practice in Texas & Nevada. She has worked as a Director of Nursing, Cardiac Step Down, PCU, ER, and psychiatry, among other nursing specializations. I diagnose and treat people from ages 12 and above with all forms of mental illness. Do you often feel anxious, or depressed, have mood swings, are not in touch with reality, or struggle with inattention? I understand how overwhelming and scary it can be. I want to help you overcome them. Within the first month, most of my clients see improvement. My extensive experience and knowledge in acute care medicine and psychiatry have helped me tremendously in determining when collaborative care is needed to deliver integrated mental health care to my patients. Therefore, we will discuss your present and past medical history. My method of providing psychiatric treatment is adaptable and integrative with your primary care physician, psychologist, neurologist, and therapist to achieve the ideal balance between the body and mind for a fulfilling existence. My goal in providing individualized patient care is to consider the patient's preferences and worries when providing treatment.
Licensed in Texas, I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. More specifically, I have worked with college-aged to middle-aged adults, educators, moms who are trying to "do it all”, as well as women navigating career and role changes. I provide an accepting and non-judgmental space that helps clients grow by learning new skills that help them navigate through the challenges and struggles that they are currently facing.

Hello, I'm Shannon.
In addition to being a Mental Health Provider, I am also a Nationally Certified Professional Mediator (NCPM).
Being a Nationally Certified Professional Mediator, has helped me a great deal as a mental health provider.
I am able to break down the layers of a situation or conflict with the goal of a positive outcome for everyone involved.
Four things I want you to know before you begin therapy with me:
1. I want treatment to work just as much as you do......
2. I am not judging you, and need to hear all of your truth(s) in order to best support you. You can't heal what you won't reveal........
3. I will not fight you for your healing....
What that means is: I will not work harder than you do. However, I will be right there beside you as we navigate your Mental Health journey together.....
4. If you don't connect with me, that's okay. Don't be afraid to try someone new, and keep trying until you find the right fit.....
I look forward to working with you!
