Shelley is absolutely amazing. She has helped me through some of the roughest times of my life. I don't know where I would be without her knowledge, skills, and genuine care for helping and understanding people.

I greatly enjoyed working with Shelley. She is casual in a way that made me comfortable. It didn't feel like a business meeting like some therapy has in the past. The loose structure was the right fit for me and it felt more like a conversation than a questioning. I could not recommend her more.

Love Shelly! I feel so comfortable talking with her and feel like she genuinely cares about me and my life. I feel like I’m talking to a friend and wish I could give her a big hug after each session!
