About Me

Hello!

I am a Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience working in the State of Wisconsin. During my career, I have over 10 years experience working with individuals experiencing grief, loss, and end of life concerns. My specialties also include; relationship/family issues, anger management, depression/anxiety issues, and life coaching personal development. I also have experience working with LGTBQ+ clients, as well as First Responder/Law Enforcement groups.

My counseling style is person centered; focused on inclusivity, and compassion. My goal is to help you identify your specific goals and then use a treatment plan to help meet your unique and specific needs. I am professionally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques. I believe, however, that no one style or technique is good for every person or situation, so I tailor my approach to what works best for you. Our work together is a "judgment free" zone. Regardless of your Age, Gender, Sexual Orientation, or Race, I believe strongly in treating everyone with dignity and respect.

Talking to someone you don't know about personal issues can be very intimidating. It takes courage to seek help to achieve a happier and more fulfilling life. If you are ready to start that journey towards achieving your goals, then I will be there each step of the way to help guide you toward them.

I look forward to working with you!

Shelley didn’t seem to be bogged down with things that had happened in my past. She wanted to know how I felt currently and how we move forward from that. I just felt like she got me

I’ve been looking for a councilor that I can connect with for 10 years and only 2 sessions with Shelley I feel a good connection. I’m actually excited for and look forward to every meeting

Written by D.E. on Feb 24, 2021 after counseling with Shelley for 2 weeks

So far Shelley has responded to me in a timely, professional manner, however, I've only had a few sessions so I feel this evaluation would be more appropriate after several sessions. As a professional person we don't really know much about another person until we have spent considerable time with them. By wanting me to constantly evaluate and sending multiple messages takes away the personal interactions with the counselor and makes it seem impersonal and that others are involved in an experience that should be confidential. I'm talking about BetterHelp in general and not Shelley personally.
