(she/her)
Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider in the state of Tennessee. I received my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I help adolescents and adults through some of life's most challenging circumstances and give them the space they need to process such events and experiences. I want to assist you through your past and current adversities.
In our first session together, I want to learn more about you! I will ask you questions about yourself, and I want you to feel that you can ask me questions too! I like to focus on what brought you here so that I can develop an effective plan for you.
I like to identify the root causes of your challenges and then create a tailored plan for you to see progress. I like to be gentle, yet direct and honest. I like to create a good alliance with you, as I believe it is the basis of effective treatment.
I like to work with adolescents and adults who are experiencing various challenges in life, such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, OCD, trauma, and many more. I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated to change, but may not have the tools yet or feel that it is overwhelming to change.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I like to assist clients in reframing their thoughts processes and finding them evidence against their anxious thoughts.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I like to assist clients in accepting their thoughts, feelings, and emotions as they are. I also like to help clients be able to release any thoughts that do not serve them. I like to assist clients in life fulfillment and help them become more self-aware of their values and how they connect to their actions.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
I like to assist clients with OCD, anxiety, and phobias lead a more fulfilling life through exposure therapy. I will use imaginal or en vivo exposure techniques, depending on the individual's current needs. I like to create a hierarchy of exposures with the client to achieve success.

Very good at finding root cause issues and finding solutions that work for me rather than cookie cutter solutions

I think Shelby is great because she's sympathetic but also she gets straight to the point. She will tell you what you need to do without sugar coating it and thats what i need. She's very compassionate with it at the same time. She's also great at explaining why you're feeling what you're feeling and how you got there in the first place.

Its day 1 but she listened and I didn't feel rejected. It was nice to hear her talk and ask questions and she responds in messages quickly and took what I said into account.
