Shelby has been a great therapist. She listens intently and helps you work through your thoughts. She is patient, understanding and realistic. I've gained new perspective from our sessions to adjust how I've been dealing with trauma and mental blocks. Nothing but great things to say about the impact of her and therapy has had on my life.

My therapist is absolutely incredible—so caring, compassionate, and genuinely understanding. Every time I come to her with a problem, she doesn’t just listen—she helps me work through it in a way that leaves me feeling confident and capable, often within the very same session. She has a gift for creating a safe space where I can be honest, vulnerable, and completely myself.
She’s also given me practical tools and advice that I use every day to manage my anxiety, and they’ve made a real difference in my life. I leave each session not only feeling lighter, but with clear steps I can take to handle whatever’s in front of me.
I truly can’t recommend her enough. She’s one of those rare people who makes you feel seen and supported, and I’m so grateful to have found her.
