Meet Shannon

The incredible work I have the privilege of doing with individuals, couples, groups, and therapists transforms my own life on a daily basis. I dedicate my time and energy to fostering connections that empower people to accept their unique challenges, unlocking their potential to thrive within their most significant personal and professional relationships. My expertise lies in identifying and dismantling barriers that restrict the full range of human possibility. I also train therapists in the effective methods I’ve created, employing the personality profiling and relational technology framework that I pioneered: POISe.

THE WORK

We will work at the edges of human potential. In ecosystems, where zones overlap and rub up against each other, exist the most diverse and productive populations in the world.

Where friction exists, growth is the potential. This is where the magic happens – in the liminal space, where possibilities abound.

I too work at the boundaries: where the self meets ‘other’, where the conscious and unconscious minds collide, where the personal and professional aspects of self intertwine, and where the individual seeks autonomy while surrendering to interdependence.

Embodying the primal wisdom from the ecosystems out of which we emerge, I discovered patterns that deeply inform our personalities. This led to the creation of the first personality profiling system that integrates attachment theory, developmental psychology, and the influence of biological impulses.

My focus is on creating growth environments for individuals and groups, fostering the full expression of their human potential and purpose. Grounded in existential theory, my philosophical approach recognizes that suffering is an inherent part of the human condition. I believe that by embracing our suffering, we unlock the energy of bound up in pain and use it to create lasting change towards contentment and self-mastery.

I invite you to join me on this journey of self-discovery and explore the transformative power of understanding your unique personality and navigating the complexities of human connection.
