Grieving life changes, processing a past traumatizing event, or discovering personal growth are areas that I have helped clients most. If you are in or feel stuck in a situation/memory allow me to walk alongside you as you walk through the stressors of life, or previous events that have left a negative impact on your self-esteem/worth and/or state of your mental health.

We all need someone, sometime. Being human is both/and. It is beautiful and good, & at times complicated, hard, and painful. Maybe life feels like too much or not enough. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in survival mode, disconnected from yourself and/or others, or struggling to feel anything other than anxious or depressed. Maybe your mind is full of painful thoughts & memories & your body feels heavy. Maybe you know that you need healing, you just don't know how or where to start. Founded by Dr. Bree Shelby, Integrative Psych Services is your place to heal.

Somewhere along the way things have gotten dark, stressful, and painful. The light seems to be too far out of reach and part of you might not think you deserve to get better. Anxiety and depression compound negative experiences and make you feel smothered. Finding your light and regaining your life after trauma and negative experiences is possible and you are worth it. I work specifically with adults helping them find their light and deal with their past, present, and future. Overcoming what is hurting you mentally is a strength that already lives inside you. You deserve to live life on your terms, and not be burdened by the past.

Being human can be hard. It is through our experiences that we learn who we are, how to relate to others, and how to be in the world. Am I loved? Do I belong? Am I accepted? Am I safe? For many of us, the answers to these questions came from experiences that were painful or traumatic, even if we didn’t or don’t recognize it as trauma. Our bodies and brains hold onto these messages and meanings, and can affect how we feel, interact, and function. You are not bad or broken, you are a human with experiences. And the wounded parts of us deserve to be heard, seen, and loved too. I want you to know that healing is possible.

Do you ever find yourself just needing someone to talk to who will really listen? We all do from time to time. I would like to offer you that safe space to explore those things in your heart that hold you back from living the life you are meant to live.

Sometimes in life we can encounter difficult life challenges, transitions or mental health struggles. When life feels overwhelming it can help to have someone to confide in and work through these obstacles. I have a passion to support and work with those on navigating these difficult life experiences and emotions. I believe in building on one’s current strengths as well as learning new skills that fit one’s own needs and goals.
