Shelley really enjoys working with children and young adults. She provides evidence based therapy programs to ensure that skills are being learned and applied in her client’s daily life. She enjoys providing family and group therapy, as well as working with parents on skill sets to manage symptoms and behaviors that are being seen at home, school and in the community.
Shelley strives to make each session memorable, so that the child/teen enjoys their time and doesn't realize that they are receiving therapy all while learning new skills.

She provides homework and skills to work on throughout the week. By applying the skills learned through therapy sessions clients can function healthier in their life and reach their potential goals.
