Hi my name is Shelby and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been working with clients for the last 6 years! I love working with couples to work through their communication and relationship struggles. I love working with individuals to work through their daily life stressors and help them find their path to fulfillment.
I am a National Board Certified Counselor (NBCC) licensed in New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, providing therapy to adults residing in those states.
I was drawn to being a therapist through my own personal experiences and understanding the value of having a safe space to process my emotions. I truly enjoy being able to help others and consider it a privilege to support others to reach their potential.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, health-related stress, grief, self-esteem, stress management and significant life transitions. My goal is to help clients better understand the patterns contributing to emotional distress while strengthening their ability to respond to challenges with resilience and intention.
I’m a warm, light-hearted therapist who believes that healing begins with feeling understood. I work with teens, adults, and couples to help them explore their emotions, strengthen relationships, and build self-awareness. I bring humor and creativity into the therapy space to make even the hard work feel approachable. My background includes experience in anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, and trauma-informed care. I’m passionate about helping clients reconnect with themselves and create lives that feel grounded, authentic, and fulfilling.
