LPC, 5 years of experience
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.
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.
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.
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.
I offer an existential and holistic system-based approach—understanding how individuals and the circles around them impact our physical, emotional, and mental well-being. I partner with clients to develop unique individualized therapy goals that address the whole person and help them to find joy and meaning in their lives.

Shelby has been such a joy and rock during a large time of change for me. She is a great listener and really helps look at the root of what feels like very surface level issues. I enjoy speaking with her and learning tips and trick on how to give myself grace and work toward a more attainable work life balance.

From the start of working with Shelby, I have felt like I am in good hands. She has been wonderful in providing me a space to ramble and think out loud of any and all problems I have. She validates and encourages me in every way. I leave each session feeling good and heard.

I really have enjoyed my sessions with Shelby so far. I had had previous issues connecting with therapists but have found Shelby super honest, authentic, and truly your best cheerleader. Often doesnt even feel like “therapy” but more like talking with an old friend. I feel better after the sessions and feel very well supported.
