“Great listener”

“Shelley is easy to talk to, is an excellent listener, and is extremely supportive. I am glad I found her and am grateful for her. She keeps things real, is compassionate, and conversation is never awkward with her.”

“Shelley is absolutely amazing. She has helped me through some of the roughest times of my life. I don't know where I would be without her knowledge, skills, and genuine care for helping and understanding people.”

“I greatly enjoyed working with Shelley. She is casual in a way that made me comfortable. It didn't feel like a business meeting like some therapy has in the past. The loose structure was the right fit for me and it felt more like a conversation than a questioning. I could not recommend her more.”

“Shelley has been a huge help in my life. I don't know how I would have healed through the last year without her help.”

“She has been an amazing therapist. She’s been with me on a long journey and still helps today.”

“Shelley has been absolutely amazing helping me through my trauma. She understands and listens, validates my feelings, gives advice and recommendations on how to handle things. I wouldn't have come as far as I have if it hadn't been for her help. I love her to pieces”

“Love Shelly! I feel so comfortable talking with her and feel like she genuinely cares about me and my life. I feel like I’m talking to a friend and wish I could give her a big hug after each session!”

“Shelley has been very thoughtful and responsive to my needs and concerns!”

“Love her”

“She truly understands and listens to me talk about things. She has also given me some wonderful advise and i love that she has worksheets to help break things down.”

“Kind, compassionate and attentive. <br /> She actually listens to what I am saying and takes me seriously.”

“Shelley is amazing! Real. Funny. Compassionate. We bonded immediately! She listens and is so helpful with ideas and practices to put into place to help you work on yourself. She isn’t the toxic positivity type either. She’s real about you and herself.”

“I thank her so much for her guidance and help. It’s helped me tremendously.”
