A note from Shelby
I’m a licensed clinical mental health counselor who believes therapy should feel safe, honest, and genuinely supportive. Many of the people I work with have experienced anxiety, trauma, complicated family dynamics, relationship stress, or long-standing patterns rooted in earlier life experiences. I don’t believe in pushing clients too fast, and I don’t believe therapy should feel like you’re being analyzed or “fixed.” Instead, I focus on creating a space where you can show up as you are—even when things feel messy, confusing, or hard to explain.
