Shelby has a miraculous gift of listening carefully, and without judgement. Every time I meet with Shelby, I feel validated, heard and cared for. Shelby is the perfect balance of expert and heart. She is a leader in her field but maintains a warmth that I so appreciate. The perfect balance for a therapist. Since working with her, my anxiety has been greatly reduced and I feel better than I have in months.

Her phone sessions and flexible schedule were the answer to my prayers! I cannot recommend her enough.
