Hi there, I'm Shelia!

I specialize in supporting individuals and families through anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I focus on perinatal mental health, helping those navigating pregnancy, postpartum adjustments, and parenting stress with compassion and care.

My focus

I work with adults, adolescents, and preteens navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and life transitions. I specialize in supporting individuals during the perinatal period, including pregnancy-related stress, postpartum mood changes, and adjusting to parenthood.

My approach

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered. I use CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help you develop practical coping skills, gain insight, and make meaningful changes.
