Hi there! My name is Shannon, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist passionate about working with relational dynamics of all shapes and sizes. I am particularly invested in helping clients navigate differences in expectations of intimacy, responsibility, and accountability. While neurotypical, I have extensive experience making space for neurodivergent voices in and out of the therapy room. Born in the US and raised in Taiwan, I provide therapy services in both English and Mandarin.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 2.1 mi away • Provo, UT


I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, valued, and accepted just as they are. I strive to create a welcoming, compassionate space where you can show up as your authentic self without fear of judgment. I understand that reaching out for help can feel intimidating, and I want you to know that you don't have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I genuinely care about the people I work with and believe that healing happens through connection, understanding, and feeling safe enough to be yourself.

I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with adults navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and big life transitions. Many of the people I work with feel stuck, disconnected from themselves, or exhausted from carrying more than they ever should have had to. I bring a grounded, real-world approach to therapy that values honesty, self-trust, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you feel more at home in yourself—not just “functional,” but genuinely alive.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Salt Lake City, UT


I believe in showing up as a real person in the therapy room. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable being fully themselves in our sessions, whether they’re navigating anxiety, faith transitions, self-worth, or the messy in-betweens of being human. My own journey (from growing up in a high-control religious group to finding meaning and freedom in nature and music festivals) has shaped my understanding of how culture and systems impact our stories.
