Shelby

We are not meant to figure everything out all at once. Sometimes the most meaningful change begins by slowing down, listening inward, and taking one step at a time.

‍

Therapy can offer a space to slow down, feel supported, and begin to understand what may be holding you back.

‍

I provide a gentle, collaborative space for individuals 16+ navigating anxiety, stress, women’s issues, relationship challenges, trauma, life transitions, or a desire for deeper self-understanding. My approach is anti-oppressive and trauma-informed, honouring the ways our identities, relationships, communities, and larger systems impact our well-being.

‍

I draw from my IFS and EMDR training to support you in reconnecting with yourself, building self-trust, and creating more agency and choice in your life. Together, we can explore the parts of you that have worked hard to protect and support you, while making room for new ways of relating to yourself and others.

‍

If you’re considering therapy, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary virtual consultation to see whether we’re a good fit.

‍

A bit about me: Outside of my work, I feel most grounded in nature, love discovering vintage treasures, find comfort and inspiration in music, and cherish time spent with family, friends, and animals.
