Shannon Anderson


Ceritified Enneagram Relationship Coach


I am a Certified Enneagram Relationship Coach. A relationship coach is not a therapist yet is a professional that helps individuals and couples understand themselves and each other more deeply.  As a coach, I can help you set your goals and help to stay accountable to those goals.  Together, we focus on the current season of life and building towards where you want to be in your future.  Our work together can be complete in and of itself for your own self-knowledge, as an adjunct to your current therapy, or may prepare you to start your therapeutic journey. 

I use the Enneagram as a tool to empower my clients to be more self-aware so that they can ultimately be more compassionate and understanding of themselves and their loved ones. We all have subconscious patterns of core motivations.  With a sense of deeper understanding, using this tool, we can begin to see and name what our patterns may be.  We need to see beyond our own masks into the truths of who we are in our entirety.  We tend to love people in the ways we want to be loved, to treat others as we want to be treated. We each have our own lens, needs, wishes and motivations.  Yet, it isn’t always easy to know our ways let alone be able to express to others what we want and how we need to be treated.  I truly believe that what we don't know about ourselves may serve as a barrier to us from leading our best lives and showing up fully in our relationships. The use of the enneagram helps to provide the language in understanding and provides a specific pathway of growth for each of us. This growth can be psychological, relational, and/or spiritual for each of us. 

As your Relationship Coach, I am not afraid to ask you the tough questions in a loving way.  I am a teacher and use story-telling to help demonstrate how our patterns may be at play. We often have a sense of what/whom we “should” be while in reality we have to understand and accept our ways, to lean into how we can be our fullest self.

Through my empathic, positive, and direct approach, I help people discover their inner world so that they can lead themselves better in their outer world.  We can work together in-person or virtually!

My Enneagram Type is the 2 also known as a "The Supportive Advisor" or "Helper."  My life's passion is helping people understand themselves and others better so that they can ultimately have healthier relationships.
