EMDR Certified Therapist
Priority Massage and Health
Shannon is a second-career trauma informed therapist and poet, who turned to writing and psychological care in response to her lived experience as a child-mother-daughter and ob/gyn. She provides counseling to individuals affected by personal or professional trauma, and offers a variety of approaches including EMDR, IFS-informed EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing. She provides both in-person as well as virtual care.
Shannon received her MD from Western University in 2004. She completed a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2009 and subsequently completed a Master’s of Science in Narrative Medicine at Columbia University in New York. From 2010-2022, she worked as a general obstetrician-gynecologist at LHSC-Vic in London Ontario, caring for women across their reproductive lifetime. In this role, she became sensitized to the impact and prevalence of trauma – both in the lives of women and their families, and among caring professionals. In 2020, she chose to re-train in trauma-informed care, and has transitioned her professional focus to serving the needs of individuals affected by personal or professional trauma.
