Hey there, hey!

I'm Shelly!

I am a trauma-informed, not your typical therapist.

If you've landed on my page, you should know there are three groups of people I work best with: 
survivors of survivors of spiritual abuse, complex trauma,
and 
adults with relationship challenges due to childhood attachment stress and/or trauma.

This is my "jammie jam."

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 experiences, the environment, inter - and intra-generational patterns passed down, and negative beliefs held in the subconscious and stored in your body. 


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.

​


Trauma creates change you don’t choose. Healing creates the change you choose.


Heal from your past.
Restore what was taken or lost.
Move into the life you deserve.
Reclaim your time!

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.

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.
