LPC, 5 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
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.
