Hi, I’m Shelly

I love getting to work as a therapist. Forming relationships and witnessing the healing that clients go through is an enormous privilege.

I also find this work endlessly interesting. I’m a life-long-learner, and there is always more to learn and understand about how healing happens. I continually seek out trainings and am also part of weekly consultation rooted in psychodynamic therapy.

My Values

I view personal healing and cultural/collective healing as being deeply interwoven

I strive to practice from an anti-racist, anti-oppressive lens

I believe that “none of us are free until all of us are free”

My Background & Training

Before becoming a therapist, I had a previous career as a Registered Nurse and spent about ten years working at hospice. This work continues to inform my current practice.

Since graduating with a Masters in Integral Counseling Psychology in May of 2020, I’ve done advanced trainings in EMDR, AEDP, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and am in ongoing weekly consultation rooted in psychodynamic / psychoanalytic therapy.
