Some of my areas of expertise are coping with loss and change, stress anxiety, depression, grief, aging, end of life issues, death and dying and hospice care. If you think we might be a good match for each other, please reach out to me and we can schedule a time to meet.

Shelley has greatly impacted my life in just three short weeks. She challenges me when I need it and validates me when I need it too. I really appreciate the questions she gives me to consider between our sessions. They keep me working on my issues and occupy my mind when I might otherwise have negative self-talk. The experience has been excellent.
