Hi, I’m Shannon, a licensed clinical therapist and co-owner at Wellspace Utah.

Experience
Trained in DBT, CBT, IFS-level 1, Mindfulness, and trauma-informed care
15 years in clinical practice
I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and challenging life transitions. Common experiences include intrusive or ruminative thoughts; impulsive or compulsive behaviors that seem hard to control; challenging relationships; or simply feeling like day-to-day life isn’t aligning with the life you envisioned. I appreciate the complexity and uniqueness of people and strive to utilize a non-judgmental approach. I practice a collaborative approach, with a background in DBT, CBT, IFS, and Mindfulness. My style is open and easy going.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing:
- Emotional dysregulation and mood swings
- Managing stress
- Anxiety and panic
- Faith Transitions
- Trauma and PTSD
- Relationship challenges
I apply a practical approach, utilizing skills to calm anxiety, regulate unwanted thoughts, and create peaceful awareness in day-to-day life. I believe each client is an individual–I like to collaborate with clients to find a path that is right for them, using methods proven to be effective.
I am passionate about what I do–I’m not afraid to dig in and do the work. I also love to laugh and try not to take myself too seriously.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy traveling, gardening, hiking, reading, and spending time with family. I value adventure and connection, so I try to say “yes” whenever I can! Ready to get started? I’d love to meet you and learn how I can support your goals. I am passionate about what I do–I’m not afraid to dig in and do the work. I also love to laugh and try not to take myself too seriously.
