Hi, I'm Shelby! I'm a healer of childhood stuff through EMDR, a somatic focused therapist who emphasizes the mind and body connection, a fan girl for self care and prioritizing yourself, and a strong believer in therapeutic humor. I love watching people reach their fullest potential and find peace of mind by healing past wounds and prioritizing themself. I do this through a person centered approach towards EMDR as well as mindfulness and DBT. I am licensed in both Missouri and Kansas. I specialize in Remote EMDR as being at home during your session promotes faster and more effective healing.
When working with me, you are in control. I will provide you with the skills you need to regulate during trauma work and we will never end a session until you feel regulated. I will be a part of the journey however you set the goals and know you are supported along the way.
So grab your favorite blanket, go to your favorite spot in your house, and lets start feeling unstuck!
