Meet Shannon

Shannon grew up in Rolla, Missouri and has called Columbia home for the past decade. She initially pursued journalism and communications as an academic and career path before returning to obtain a B.S. in Psychology from Missouri State University in 2022.

Shannon is now in her third year in the Stephen’s College Clinical Mental Health Counseling program as well as the Dance/Movement Therapy Master’s Certificate program at Antioch University New England. She first began dancing at age four, and, by high school, found the power in processing emotions through expressive movement. Shannon is passionate about the mind-body connection and is excited to offer this body-centered, creative arts modality to clients in mid-Missouri.

Shannon has a special interest in providing neurodivergent-affirming therapies to individuals on the Autism spectrum, particularly children, adolescents and late-diagnosed, female-identifying individuals. In this capacity, she aims to help clients discover, honor and channel their personal strengths, explore personalized accommodation needs and coping skills, and develop strong self-advocacy skills.

Shannon is also passionate about guiding clients to liberatory practices to help them cope with systems of oppression.

She provides a collaborative therapeutic experience and believes in using a combination of bottom-up and top-down processing to help clients arrive at new insights and self-understanding to facilitate growth and wellness. Her approach is holistic, incorporating the body and mind and the interplay between the two.

Shannon hopes to work with clients across the lifespan. She is supervised by Crystal Williams, LMFT
