I hope to meet you soon and that I can be of support as you navigate this part of your Narrative as it would be a privilege. I say that simply because of the chance you're taking right NOW. I hope to get to know YOU soon- Dr. Shelly
First session
In the first session be prepared to have an engaging, intentional, and intriguing conversation with someone who is prepared to walk beside you as you share very intimate details about your story. The first session is all about getting to know and understand who you are fully as you stand in the face of another, who is waiting to be of support to you. As your therapist I will ask questions in such a way that the hope is you begin to feel connected and that you feel seen. That can be so hard at times because to be vulnerable is the scariest human emotion to be, but if you can challenge yourself to do just that, I will ensure you that I will keep those confidences; first and foremost allow you to feel safe as well as protected as you share your experiences and emotions that you have had to manage throughout your journey.
Strengths
I have a very unique and eclectic way of connection when I speak with my clients. I utilize Narrative Therapy (a story telling approach) with the addition of SFBT, CBT, DBT. Also, if you suffer from anxiety or complex trauma related disorders, or bipolar disorder, you have come to the right space. If You are an Adult who has always felt they were a little different and would like to find out if you may be dealing with neurodivergence / autism, I also do those evaluations and will not only affirm but will support you therapeutically should that be what you have been managing in your narrative as well. My approach stands out because I will hear you differently, because I meet you where you are, in the chapter, on the specific page that is earnestly affecting at this moment.
Ideal clients
If your concerns are thought rumination of a specific event, Trauma, or addictions, and you need that extra level of support with coping skills, interventions, and action packed tools that allow you see results sooner rather than later, as later may be too far out for you and you need to believe in YOU right now and in THIS PROCESS, then let's work as a team together to get you those results.
