Hi there, I'm Shelly!

Welcome! Seeking therapy is a meaningful step toward healing and transformation. My intention is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood as you deepen your self-awareness and work toward lasting change—and I'll be there with you every step of the way.

My focus

Do you find yourself stuck in the same patterns or replaying conversations you wish had gone differently? You're not alone. I help trauma survivors, veterans, and those navigating mental health challenges or life transitions. My ideal clients want to understand their patterns, reconnect with their strengths, and create lasting change.

My approach

I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients explore their different "parts"—each carrying its own emotions and protective role. This approach creates space for healing by honoring rather than fighting internal conflicts. I integrate IFS with other modalities such as Mindfulness and Trauma-Informed-Care to meet your unique needs.
