Hey there, hey!
I'm Shelly!
I am a trauma-trained, holistic therapist.
If you've landed on my page, you should know there are three groups of people I work best with:
1. Survivors of religious/spiritual abuse,
2. Folks navigating complex trauma,
and
3. Adults stuck in patterns of unhealthy relationships.
Do you have......
-
Trust issues, low self-esteem or low self-worth
-
Feelings of inadequacy, guilt, shame, alienation, and isolation.
-
Fear of abandonment or rejection
-
Difficulty establishing healthy boundaries
-
Emotional dysregulation and difficulty expressing or managing emotions
-
Identity confusion or loss of sense of self
-
Hypervigilance, anxiety or depression
-
Difficulty forming healthy relationships (avoidant or codependent)
-
Experience family conflict based on beliefs
If you said "yes" or nodded your head while reading the list above I see you. You don't have to stay stuck. You can experience transformation.
However the symptoms manifest in your life today, they may stem from your childhood relational patterns, the environment, and inter - and intra-generational patterns passed down through epigenetics. These experiences create a negative view of yourself and can keep your system in that cycle. The body holds, and is the story of both negative and positive experiences. It's those negative experiences that are held in the subconscious and are causing a disruption in your life.
​
My role, through co-regulation, is to help your system unlock and process these blocks so you can have a better relationship with yourself first, and then healthier relationships with others. You become the author of your book of life.
​
​
I stand with individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, religions, sexual orientations, and gender expressions, offering support that honors and respects the uniqueness of each person.
​
I admit that I do therapy differently, but I won't apologize. I was born to be a disrupter.

3 ways I can work with you​​
1
Individual Counseling
Tailored Treatment: Every person's journey to recovery is unique, so we work together to create personalized therapy goals designed to address your specific needs and strengths.
Holistic Approach: A holistic approach to mental health integrating evidenced-based and culturally attuned practices like Brainspotting, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), mindfulness, drumming, movement, and creativity to aid in recovery and wellness.
2
Trauma Intensives
A therapy intensive is an extended and concentrated form of therapeutic treatment typically spanning several consecutive hours and/or days. Its primary purpose is to provide you with an immersive and focused therapeutic experience that allows for deeper exploration, insight, and healing beyond the typical 50-minute counseling session.
Intensives are helpful in adjunct therapy, when you are stuck, or for performance enhancement.
