Are you frustrated with or worn down by the relationships in your life? Is the person who used to bring out your best bringing out your worst? My passion is working with couples and families. We all bring a suitcase full of past wounds, maladaptive patterns, and distorted thinking into each relationship. Sometimes these go undiscovered for years. I want to help you explore ways to heal and be more effective in relating to those that you love! I also enjoy working with individuals from a similar perspective. It's astonishing how often relational issues tie in to individual issues such as depression and anxiety. Simply put, I love walking with people through their brokenness. Life is full of difficulty and at times, help is needed. I want to come alongside people during these times to provide a safe and thorough environment of insight, exploration and expertise in order to empower you to become your best you.

Shelley believes that, at the core, all people desire relationship. Unfortunately, things happen in life that can make it difficult for them to connect with others in healthy ways. In the attempt to avoid pain, people protect themselves in ways that leave them feeling isolated and alone—the exact opposite of what they want. Shelley believes good therapy helps people gain a deeper understanding of themselves and inspires them to grow in ways that make it possible to experience fulfilling relationships and live a happier life. She applies this philosophy in her work with men, women, and families who are affected by addiction. Her desire is to help people discover and resolve the underlying relational issues that keep them dependent on drugs, alcohol, sex, eating, working, and other addictive lifestyles. She is also passionate about helping single women overcome feelings of frustration and loneliness when relationships fail and find joy and fulfillment when life isn't going as planned.
