I’ve had the honor of serving people from all walks of life in my career since 2005, which first began as I initiated and operated a non-profit program for juveniles in my small town. It was funded by grants and donations, and I learned a lot about rural communities, human services, referral sources, and limited resources. I gained a passion for helping others and decided to pursue my degree to continue to help others. After receiving my Master’s degree in 2011, I began offering therapy to those in my community, always keeping in mind the heart of collaboration as well as working to help people make real change in their lives.
I have learned some tremendous things about the necessity for validation, which is a theme that resonates in my work. Your thoughts and feelings matter. Taking the time to explore and validate them is a part of the healing journey and I am honored to be here with you during this time.

Hi, I'm Shelley!
Do you feel like you are stuck in a cycle and can't get out? Do you feel unseen and unwanted? Are you struggling with showing yourself grace and mercy?
I help people who are struggling with life issues develop better skills to cope with and redirect their lives in the way that makes them more genuine with themselves and others. Together, we explore how you view the world and if your view or thinking patterns can be adjusted to help you grow. I specialize in helping teens and adults work on symptoms of depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, life stressors, and life transitions.
My goal as a therapist is to be open, honest, genuine. I will provide unconditional positive regard. I love mixing talk therapy with things you can use daily to improve your view of yourself and your life. Therapy can be scary, being open to someone you don't know is risky. I want to provide a safe space for you to be yourself. I look forward to meeting you!

I like to view psychotherapy and the therapeutic relationship as having a personal trainer for your emotional well being and personal life. It can teach relational skills and promote healing. It requires a commitment to yourself and serves as an investment. The return on that investment can be achieving goals, growth, and emotional satisfaction.
There are many reasons someone may seek out a therapist, regardless of those reasons my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where we can build a trusting therapeutic relationship that allows for healing and growth.
I am a Licensed Psychotherapist with over 25 years of clinical experience specializing in grief and loss, trauma, PTSD, addiction, mood disorders, suicidal ideation and crisis intervention. I enjoy working with diverse cliental across all stages of life.

Hello, I appreciate you taking the time to read my bio and I am looking forward to meeting with you. I believe everyone is on a unique walk and will face situations they could have never prepared for at some point in their life.
I have been married for 18 years and have 5 terrific children. I enjoy trying new things and some of my favorite past times are spending time with my family, working on cars, enjoying music, hiking, fishing, and adventuring in new towns. My education actually started in Mechanical Engineering but I felt called to go into the helping professions and have been volunteering or working in a helping role since 2001. My blend of education and over 10 years of experience is what makes me unique as I strive in helping others in clarify their vision and making it a reality.
I specialize in working with men, couples, adolescents, active duty military, first responders, and Veterans, but enjoy helping people no matter where they are in life.
I am most impactful as a counselor helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, school or work issues, couples counseling, low self-esteem, family counseling, gambling addiction and those struggling with grief or life changes.
Again thank you for taking the time to learn a little about myself and the experience that I can bring in this therapeutic relationship. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Are you a woman who feels like your life is not your own? Some days your life’s blessing’s; your career, marriage and children feel more like challenges. You may even feel guilty about feeling this way. You tirelessly care and support others, but struggle to do the same for yourself. Your efforts to be everything for everyone has caused you to feel depressed, anxious and possibly resentful at times. You’re not even certain when you lost yourself and even less certain how to discover the woman you desire to be. You WANT to recognize the woman staring back in the mirror; you WANT to be physically, emotionally and spiritually abundant.
Our work is directed by your journey, and I am honored to provide a holistic and integrative space that supports your transformative growth. I partner with my clients to design healthy self-care goals, address barriers to self-care, and cultivate nurturing and empowering practices in every day roles.

I think one of the most important parts of therapy is finding the right "fit". That relationship is key in helping grow, trust and meet any goals that you might have going into the therapeutic process. Let me give you a glimpse of who I am!
I'm Amy, a LMHC, who has been in the counseling world for over 15 years and love what I get to do. I started my career in the community health sector which I learned so much and worked with diverse groups of people with an array of various needs. I have worked in school settings as well as in homes. I have been deep within the community in many of my roles along the way.
I have developed many techniques along the way as not one intervention will work for everyone. Some of the modalities I use are EMDR, CBT, Motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques as well as a combination of these.
I meet people where they are, maybe having to learn how they are even feeling let alone how to cope with that feeling. Maybe we have a tool, but if no one ever took the time to teach us, then what good is that tool?

Hi. I am a middle-aged married mother of one grown and one smaller child. Our next anniversary will be 10 years for us. We were both married before finding each other, so there is a history of blending families with children. I am a Christian and Jesus is the foundation of my life. "Through Christ, we can do all things." Philippians 4:13.
I have my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience in private practice settings and working in a community service board (CSB). I have led anger management groups. I have worked with ages from childhood to the elderly. I have worked with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, family conflicts, relationship difficulties, traumas, abuse, bipolar disorder (manic episodes), suicidal ideations, personal growth (career, etc.), and spiritual development.
Life can be quite challenging. Many times we are facing situations that we are not prepared for or have prior hurts that affect our ability to overcome. When we get into these places it is easy to feel stuck or even blind to what is really going on. It is easy to shut down and isolate out of fear of what others may think. I enjoy providing a safe, warm, and caring environment to help you pull down any walls or barriers so you can face the situation head-on. Many past clients have shared how I have helped them see things in a different light so they were able to rise above the challenges and grow during the process. "All things work together good for those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
I am looking forward to meeting with you to help you grow stronger in who you are designed to be. You were created for a purpose and I want to help you discover what that is while helping you equip yourself better for it.
