LCSW, 11 years of experience
Hello, and congratulations on the first step of your mental health journey! Looking for a therapist can be overwhelming, so let me tell you a little about what you can expect in sessions with me. I became a therapist to help others find healing and create a life they enjoy. My clients often describe my sessions as accepting, validating, and educational. I want to help you explore your emotions, gain insights, and develop realistic coping skills. I work with you as a team to help you identify areas to improve and learn practical skills for a positive impact on your life. You are the expert on you, but you don't have to do it alone.
My goal is for clients to feel comfortable and excited to participate in the therapeutic process. I consider myself a creative therapist with laid back sessions that often involve laughter and a safe space to experience any emotions you are carrying.
Having worked with people who have experienced various traumas, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
In my experience therapy is not a one size fit all experience. I have experience with multiple evidence based therapeutic approaches and like to work with my clients to find the best approach for them. I currently offer virtual therapy for all ages. My focus is on education and empowerment, fostering a supportive online space for transformative experiences.

I like that Shelby is gentle, and makes great suggestions. I have been in 4 sessions with her and I feel like she pays attentions to my concerns. So grateful to have her in my care team.

Just within my intake session, Shelby picked up personality traits of mine that I had been questioning for a long time. She asked a lot of questions about all stages of life, and as I talked through them I even started seeing correlations that I hadn’t before. Very much looking forward to my future sessions with Shelby and learning more about myself and being educated on how to live a better life!

Very understanding of how I was feeling and she made sure I was ok the entire time. Would love to have her again.
