I'm Shelley! I specialize in working with adults and teens who feel stuck, have difficulty expressing their emotions, or are seeking a deeper connection with their inner thoughts and experiences. I strive to create a non-judgmental safe space where all parts of you are welcome and embraced.
Whether you are navigating the impacts of trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or life transitions, I am here to attune to your unique story while offering compassionate guidance and support. My approach is person-centred and trauma-informed, integrating Art therapy, mindfulness, IFS parts work and somatic therapies.
I am a Registered Counselling Therapist and professional Art Therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and groups.
I have also completed specialized training in Psliosbyin-assisted Psychotherapy through Therapsil.
Starting therapy can feel like a daunting task, and it can be even more challenging to find a therapist who gets you. If you are curious to hear more about my approach and how I can support you, I'm happy to offer a free 15 minute consultation. I welcome all of your questions and curiosities!
