Great to meet you!

Hi my name is Shellie and I have 10 year’s experience in the field of mental health, working with various ages from young children, adolescents, adults and couples. I have a passion for helping others recognize patterns of behavior that work for them or that have failed them. I want to help clients take a deeper look inside themselves, recognize their strengths, learn new coping skills, and improve their relationships and as well as how they feel about themselves.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I specialize in parenting, perinatal therapy, new parents, couples therapy, anxiety and depression. I utilize a person-centered approach and a variety of therapeutic styles depending on what would best support the client. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy with clients.

What you can expect from our first session

Ultimately, my goal is to provide a safe space for clients to come and work on the issues they are dealing with and to promote growth in their lives
