Behind the Practice:

Hi, I’m Shelley 👋

I’m a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist with 30+ years of experience walking alongside people through trauma, grief, anxiety, and life transitions.

My approach is:

• Compassionate & trauma-informed
• Holistic (mind, body, spirit)
• Collaborative — you set the pace, I walk beside you

I believe you are your own greatest healer — I simply provide a safe, supportive space to help you reconnect with that strength.
