Heyo! I’m Shelby.
Therapist, Listener, Brain-Hacker
I’m not here to fix you—I’m here to sit with you in the mess and help you find your way through it. I bring warmth, irreverent humor, and honesty to therapy, because healing isn’t sterile—it’s human, gritty and weirdly funny. Whether you're unpacking trauma, navigating identity, or just trying to stay afloat, I show up with compassion, patience, and zero judgment. Healing isn’t clean — it’s chaotic, courageous and absolutely yours.
My people? They’re often living with trauma or figuring out life. My jam involves those with neurodivergent brains — think ADHD minds, deep feelers, late-diagnosed folks. Most are 14 to 50, somewhere in the messy middle of healing, becoming, or rebuilding. They’re ready to show up, dig deep, and create something real. Together, we work on dropping the shame, showing up fully, and building lives that actually feel good—not just look “okay” on paper.
My flow? It is bold and warm as therapy can be a dance between pushing and holding space. I believe you already have the tools—you just might need someone to help you see them. I’m not afraid of the heavy stuff, and I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But I will be right there with you, for real. I also use humor to lighten the hard stuff and be real with you. Beware—I’ve been known to drop a well-placed curse word when it fits the moment. I’m human too, and when I do, it’s said with respect.I flip curses into gifts, build skills that actually help, and rewriting stories that no longer serve you. My approach is eclectic and grounded—I pull from ACT, CBT, DBT, and even occupational therapy tools. No one-size-fits-all path here. Just what works, for you.
If we’re a fit, we’ll face the tough stuff together. If not, I’ll help connect you with the right support. We’ll try different tools, get creative, and keep going until things start to shift. You won’t have to do it alone.
Outside of individual and family therapy, I offer other services…
👥 Parent Support
For parents of neurodivergent teens—space to process, strategize, and stay grounded while supporting your kid.
🧒 Childcare Coaching
I work with parents, caregivers, and childcare providers using the Pyramid Model through Rooted in Relationships to support secure attachment, emotional regulation, and everyday connection. Whether you're navigating tantrums, sensory challenges, or just trying to feel more confident as a caregiver, we focus on attunement over perfection. This work is grounded, relational, and deeply human—because the little stuff is the big stuff.
💬 Consultation for Providers
Support for clinicians or educators working with Neurodivergent brains and trauma-experienced clients—let’s talk nuance, systems, and human-first practice.
🛠️ Leadership & Systems Work
Before private practice, I built programs from the inside—outpatient therapy, integrative care, oncology support, school-based services, and more. I specialize in designing neurodivergent-affirming, ADHD- and autism-friendly spaces that actually work. I get the red tape and know how to make systems human again. Whether you're building or rebuilding, I offer consulting with clarity, creativity, and clinical grit.
🎓 Professional Presentations and Course Presentations
I offer workshops, trainings, and talks for schools, organizations, professionals and community groups on topics like neurodivergence, trauma-informed care, and making mental health accessible and real. Each offering is grounded, engaging, and tailored to your audience’s needs—no fluff, just useful insight with heart.
