About me

Welcome - I'm so glad you're here! My name is Shelby, and I am a licensed professional counselor and mental health advocate. I partner with my clients to develop unique individualized therapy goals that address the whole person. If you are looking for a therapist who will be your “teammate” to help address and resolve problems/conflict, then you’ve found the right therapist! I am here to help work alongside you, supporting you every step to help you achieve your therapy goals.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will be spent getting to know you and what makes you, YOU! We will explore things that are going well in your life and things that things that aren't. We will discuss what brought you to therapy, explore what your symptoms are, and how you have been coping thus far. We will get a layout of some intial therapy goals and a brief overview of some treatment strategies for future sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths as a therapist are creating a comfortable, non-judgmental, and safe environment for clients to openly discuss whatever stressors or concerns they may be experiencing. I use supportive and encouraging language with my clients to ensure they feel validated. We will work together to find relief and healing where needed.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I provide therapy to teenagers and adults. I specialize in complex medical needs, cancer, adult anxiety and depression, Autism, grief, substance use within family systems, and caregiver burnout.

Shelby is wonderful and challenges me in various ways that I’ve never challenged myself with. She is authentic, warm, and easy to open up to. She has helped me gain a lot of new perspectives as I catch the patterns and thoughts that I’ve never had insight about before.
