About me

I am dedicated to empowering my clients as we work together to overcome the everyday challenges of life. By exploring the underlying behavioral and emotional patterns that often arise from unmet needs or unresolved wounds, we can uncover meaningful insights and lasting change. I believe that all people have intrinsic value and purpose. I also know that being a human can be challenging. Thankfully, we’re all in this together. There are helpers for the journey. My goal is to guide you toward your goals. I consider it a privilege and an honor to walk with you as you create a life you don’t want to escape.

Get to know me

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

In our sessions, you can expect a supportive and engaging atmosphere where I strive to provide effective therapy. My conversational style, paired with a thoughtful dose of directness, ensures that you feel both comfortable and motivated to achieve your goals. Together, we can create the positive impact you deserve.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I focus on creating a warm and inviting space for healing and growth. This allows me to connect with my clients in a sincere and supportive way, making them feel comfortable and fostering trust and openness. I also have a knack for spotting underlying patterns, which helps me tackle the root causes of challenges rather than just the surface issues. This way, we can achieve real, lasting change together!

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m passionate about collaborating with individuals from all walks of life who are committed to growth and healing. Together, we explore their unique stories to foster insight and lasting change.

My treatment methods

Eclectic

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach—instead, I tailor therapy to fit you. I approach therapeutic techniques as tools in a toolbox: I draw from different methods, like CBT or DBT for practical strategies, humanistic therapy for self-growth, Logotherapy for purpose and meaning, or psychodynamic techniques to explore deeper patterns, depending on what helps you most. Your needs guide our sessions. This way, therapy stays flexible, personal, and effective.

Shelley's personality seemed warm and open when I first read about her, and after meeting with her for the first time I felt very safe and supported emotionally. She was able to identify patterns and nuances between the lines of what I said or didn't say, making me feel understood. I look forward to working with her more.
