Hi there, I’m Shelia Do you feel like the weight of the world is weighing you down? Life’s struggles are becoming unmanageable? Managing family, relationships and job is getting too hard? I help clients find a healthy perception of themselves and strengthen their relationships. We can partner to identify what works and what doesn’t to create a new path that works better. I have experience with individual, family, and group modalities and will use an integrative approach based on your needs. This may include: client-centered, mindfulness, solution focused, and trauma-informed techniques. I truly believe that having a good relationship and feeling comfortable with your therapist is an essential part of therapy. I provide a relaxed casual environment where you'll feel you can express yourself openly without judgement. I will warmly, but honestly guide you through your journey of change, adjustment, and growth.

I have worked with individuals and families to provide specific intensive case management and behavioral health services. I am bilingual in Spanish/English and enjoy working with a diverse population.

I am a Latinx bilingual and bicultural psychotherapist. I have a master’s degree in social work from the Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. My expertise has centered on providing therapeutic care in inpatient settings and community mental health centers with a focus on crisis and trauma interventions. I am trained in mindfulness-based approaches, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, parent training and Motivational Interviewing. In therapy, I address patient's concerns which include depression, anxiety, domestic violence and complex trauma. My approach to care is to create a safe and comfortable environment for all of my clients and I believe individuals can excel when addressing their symptoms from a systematic, family and individual approach. I began practicing 9 years ago at a community mental health center with survivors of domestic violence. Thereafter, I worked with adolescents experiencing depression and anxiety. The next five years I spent my time working with pediatric patients in the Autism spectrum addressing behavioral concerns. In this process I have worked with the LGBTQ+ and Latinx community and inclusive of other communities. It is my belief that therapy is unique to each individual and I cater individually to all my patients. I practice cultural humility as I continue to learn about cultural uniqueness and differences. I continue to research and inquire about patients' experience to improve my approach to therapy, the therapeutic relationship and experience.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), my mission is to guide individuals on a journey back to their innate wisdom, compassion, peace, and confidence. I often think of the story of Michelangelo, who described sculpting as the act of chipping away marble to reveal the beauty already within. This metaphor beautifully captures the counseling process: together, we identify and remove the barriers obscuring your true SELF, allowing your inner brilliance to shine through. My approach is rooted in deep compassion for the human experience. I bring to our work a blend of trauma-informed care and evidence-based practices, enriched by certifications in Mind-Body Bridging, Cognitively-Based Compassion Training, and Cultivating Emotional Balance. I draw from powerful therapeutic frameworks, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Mindful Self-Compassion, and Compassionate Inquiry, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs.

Life can look fine on the outside while feeling overwhelming on the inside.

As a licensed therapist and U.S. Air Force veteran, I understand pressure, responsibility, and what it is like to always be the strong one. My approach is warm, steady, and practical, focused on helping you make sense of what has been weighing on you and building tools you can use in everyday life to feel calmer and more grounded. I especially enjoy supporting adults navigating stress, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, and caregiving demands. Therapy with me is a space where you can exhale, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself while creating meaningful changes that feel realistic and sustainable.

I am a caring and understanding listener who provides a safe space free of judgment or shame. I want to truly hear what is important to you, understand your perspective, and explore what brought you to therapy. My goal is to support you in working toward the changes and goals that matter most to you so you can feel happier and more fulfilled. I know that life’s journey can bring regret, guilt, or shame, and I am here to help you unburden those feelings and choose a new path—one that reflects your strengths, values, and hopes for the future. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 25 years and enjoy being a part of the process of helping someone find peace and fulfillment.

Couples Counseling
Sex Therapy
Trauma and PTSD
Couples who love each other but struggle with sex often feel disconnected, frustrated, and unsure how to get back to intimacy. Many of my clients haven’t had sex in a while and find themselves arguing instead of connecting. They miss the closeness, the pleasure, and the confidence that comes from a healthy sex life. I help couples move from conflict and confusion to clarity and connection. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Certified Sex Therapist with 17 years of experience, I guide couples toward fulfilling, passionate intimacy they can enjoy throughout their lifetime together.
