Hi there, I'm Shelly!

I work with individuals, families, and couples struggling with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, attachment, relationship issues, and life transitions. I realize starting therapy can be scary, but I'll walk with you on your journey. I bring life experience and humor to my work.

My focus

I work with individuals from various socio-economic backgrounds dealing with significant trauma histories, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and relationship issues. My experience spans homeless young adults, family therapy in rural communities, and individual therapy in suburban mental health settings.

My approach

I see each person as an individual with unique strengths and needs, customizing treatment by pulling from multiple therapeutic models. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is crucial to success. I provide a non-judgmental space where you can feel safe, respected, and heard.
