More about Shelli

My counseling experience ranges from working with individuals in transition and those with depression and anxiety.
My approach to counseling is patient-centered and holistic. I want to understand your perspective and experience, so we can establish meaningful goals for our time together. I have years of experience as a nurse, as well as a counselor, which allows me to better view the whole person and the ways physical and mental health intersect. My go-to treatment modalities are evidenced-based and a bit eclectic as each client is unique and one size does not fit all.
