Hi - I’m Shelly
Let’s partner for change!
I believe all people just want to feel a sense of belonging and contributing. A true sense of self. I think this is achieved in community with others and I am here to help you get there. As a working mom, wife, friend, dog lover, and self-proclaimed artist - I often find myself overwhelmed with all that's going on around me. It's easy to let that feeling take away your joy and lose sight of what matters most in life.
I see all individuals as unique and wonderful humans who have the power within themselves to grow and flourish. In my practice, I utilize a strength-based approach grounded in neuroscience to help individuals discover their talents and passions, learning to leverage them to cope with the challenges they face in life. During therapy with me there is often laughter, sometimes tears, and always a safe place to be your authentic self. We will partner to help you, or your child - process the past, live in the present, and build the future.

Children
Therapy for children is like a playdate with a purpose. Through games, art, and talking, kids can express themselves and work through their feelings in a safe and fun environment. It's all about helping them grow stronger and more resilient - paving the way for a brighter tomorrow. As parents, your role is vital, and your collaboration is key. Let’s partner to support your child's emotional well-being every step of the journey.

Teens & Young Adults
13-25 is a time of identity exploration and newfound independence. Therapy provides a supportive environment to talk about feelings and challenges with someone who listens and helps figure things out. It's like having a guide to navigate through tough times, offering support and tools to handle whatever comes their way.

Parents & Families
Navigating the ups and downs of parenting can stir up memories of our own upbringing and a desire to do things differently. That's where I come in. Whether it's just you, you and your partner, or the whole gang, I'm here to help. We'll chat, we'll laugh, and we'll figure things out together. Because parenting's tough, but it's a whole lot easier when you've got someone in your corner.
“The future depends on what you do today.”

Life is complicated, therapy shouldn’t be.
Let’s Connect
I offer all prospective clients a complimentary 15-minute consultation to determine fit. This is a partnership so let’s get it right.
First Session
This is a time for me to get to know what’s awesome (and tough) for you or your child. Don’t worry, I make it fun for kids and comfortable for adults! And I have fidgets galore.
Our Partnership
Therapy with me is customized to meet your needs. Within our first few sessions we will come up with a plan together. I may be the therapist, but you are the expert on YOU!
