About me

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 24 years of experience. Prior to getting my undergraduate degree in psychology and then my masters degree in social work, I spent 8 years in the United States Navy. I had the pleasure of living abroad and working with some great people. I am also the mother of two adult children, one of whom is a severely disabled adult. I understand the challenges families face when caring for a medically fragile loved one.

I have experience in various areas of social work but my passion in the last few years has been as a mental health therapist. I've worked in community mental health agencies providing counseling to individuals, couples, families, seniors and children. Currently, I'm working in a group practice working with clients who are suffering from depression, anxiety, grief and loss, abuse, trauma, substance abuse and relationship problems.

I am an upbeat person who enjoys helping people find solutions to their problems. I understand how difficult change can be because I have experienced a few of life's disappointments myself. If you are ready to move forward and turn the page on any situation that has left you wanting to feel better, I am here to help.

Shelley has been so so helpful! I’ve needed help managing my time and stress, and she does an absolutely wonderful job of giving me pointers and learning to let go of tasks I haven’t completed. I can’t say enough good things about her!

I usually wouldn't feel comfortable sharing any private information. I am the strong person who often is there for others, but I am glad that I decided to try therapy for some recent grief and anxiety issues. Shelley was so amazing at listening, supporting, and encouraging. She really made me feel heard, understood, and she gave solid advice that I was able to apply immediately. I really appreciate her.
