Shelley is skilled at helping people become artists with their lives by balancing their work and life challenges. Both with clients and in her own personal life, she has observed the transformation that creative work can bring.

She has demonstrated in her practice that change can happen quickly, when facilitated by a warm, interactive approach. But she finds that longer-term approaches can provide profound and deepening benefits. For this reason, depending on the situation, she offers both short- and long-term therapy to couples and individuals.

Couples can successfully work through conflicts by making systemic changes.

Individuals who want to change long-term patterns often benefit from in-depth psychodynamic work.

Others respond best to brief therapy: solution-focused therapy, cognitive therapy, or behavioral approaches.

Those who are interested in personal growth may want a combination of any or all of these in their quest for self-knowledge.
