Hi there, I'm Shelagh!
I work with people in their most vulnerable moments and have found our core of resilience is a strong center to build on. I'm a member of the LGBTQ+ community and sex-positive. I've worked extensively in medical settings and now run an Intensive Outpatient Program, supporting folks through everything from major life transitions to terminal illness.
My focus
I work with folks ranging from older teenagers through centenarians, grappling with everything from adjusting to a new job to transitioning to authentic gender to coping with terminal cancer. I support people with substantial trauma histories, addiction issues, complicated relationships, and histories of psychiatric admissions.
My approach
I utilize a trauma-informed and strength-based framework, pulling tools from CBT, DBT, positive therapy, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and humanistic therapy. This approach helps us build on your existing strengths while addressing the challenges you're facing.
