About Shelly
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you've lost sight of who you are outside of everyone else's needs? You're not alone - and you don't have to figure it out alone either. As a licensed therapist in Texas with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and pursuing a Doctorate in Community Care and Counseling, I specialize in working with people navigating anxiety, addiction and recovery, relationship patterns, and seasons of personal reinvention. Whether you're in the middle of a major life transition, working through the weight of past experiences, or simply trying to understand yourself better, this is a space where all of that is welcome. My approach is warm and direct. I'll meet you with genuine empathy, and I'll also gently challenge you when I think it serves your growth. Sessions aren't one-size-fits-all - we'll work together in a way that fits your pace, your personality, and your goals. My training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and addiction counseling, so we have a lot of tools to draw from depending on what you need. I'm particularly passionate about creating a faith-sensitive environment where your spirituality isn't set aside - it can be part of your healing if that's meaningful to you. I also bring a personal and professional appreciation for cross-cultural experiences and the unique pressures of navigating identity, belonging, and community expectations. Having grown up as a missionary kid in East Asia and worked extensively with missionaries and international workers, I understand what it means to live between worlds. Some of the areas I most commonly support clients through include social anxiety, self-esteem, communication and boundary-setting, substance use challenges, and learning to release what's outside your control. If you're in a season of asking "Who am I, and what do I actually want?" - that's some of my favorite work. I believe healing happens in relationship, and I'm committed to walking alongside you with consistency, honesty, and care. Let's explore what's possible together. Read more Show less
