Hi! I'm Shelby. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Texas and Hawaii. I have worked with both adolescents and adults in many settings. I have a lot of experience working with those experiencing every day/job stress, marital stress, confidence issues, parenting burdens, and transitions. We all wear so many hats and I can relate to the struggle!
I focus on you as a person, where you are in the moment. I will meet you where you are, support, encourage, and challenge you. I believe that being vulnerable is hard and it takes time to build rapport and open up, but we can do hard things together. I approach therapy as a person-centered, strength-based, and humanistic approach. I will listen to you, laugh with you, and hold space for you whenever you need me to. We discuss goals and the reason you are here so we can refer back to things, but healing isn't linear, and goals and plans can change at any point.
I love to experience life with my clients. I am direct, humorous, and will always support you eating snacks or showing up in your comfy clothes. I will follow your lead in whatever you need in session but also challenge your thoughts and help you be your best self.
