I am a Georgia Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider. I am trained to provide individual, couples, and family counseling for adolescents and adults experiencing a range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, depressive disorders, and trauma- and stressor-related conditions.

I am always seeking ways to advance my knowledge in the counseling field, to broaden my horizon with specialty topics, and to best serve diverse populations.

Hi my name is Shelby and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been working with clients for the last 6 years! I love working with couples to work through their communication and relationship struggles. I love working with individuals to work through their daily life stressors and help them find their path to fulfillment.

I want my clients to know that I value creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and nonjudgmental. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially for people who are used to carrying things on their own or putting others first. My goal is to help clients feel comfortable enough to show up honestly and be themselves without pressure or shame.

A large part of my experience involves working with trauma survivors and individuals navigating anxiety, relationship stress, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. I approach this work with compassion, patience, and understanding, and I believe healing happens through feeling supported, heard, and empowered.

Welcome! If this is your first stop in deciding whether therapy is right for you, congratulations. I know it can be incredibly difficult to take the first step towards finding a therapist who is the right fit for you. As a therapist, my primary goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and understood. I view therapy as a cooperative space between us. You are the expert of your life, and my job is to ask the right questions to bring clarity, direction, and self-compassion. Sometimes, this looks like sitting in silence together. Other times, it looks like a gentle nudge to push you towards the potential we both know you have.

I earned my Master's in Counseling and PsyD at Fuller Theological Seminary. I have had the privilege of working in hospitals, universities, private practice, and community mental health settings, and these experiences have given me a broad perspective on the unique difficulties facing individuals. My clinical training includes a specialty in spirituality and religious experiences (i.e., religious trauma and deconstruction). I work with individuals 18+ and help individuals who are navigating life transitions and/or relationship difficulties.
