"Shelby provides a range of support and guidance to those seeking growth in their mental and emotional well-being. I like the way she offers a safe and non-judgmental space for her clients to express what's bothering them. This helps to explore our thoughts and emotions. Shelby seems to listen attentively and asks the right questions to help her clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their challenges they are going through. She offers practical tools and techniques for managing stress, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. Additionally, Shelby adapts her therapeutic approach to suit each client's individual needs, combining various techniques and modalities to address their specific goals. Her warmth, compassion, and dedication make her an invaluable resource for those seeking support and growth in their mental and emotional well-being."

"As a fellow therapist, I came to know Shelby through Orange County Shrinks. She has made it her mission to connect colleagues in order to ensure we all feel supported, and can do our best work. She is incredibly welcoming, efficient and relatable. Shelby is a natural fit for anyone wanting to more effectively navigate the busy and fast pace life of OC. I highly suggest reaching out to Shelby and finding out how she can support you in your journey towards a more effective relationship with yourself, your goals and the people around you. She is a truly a gift to the OC community!"

"There are so many wonderful things about Shelby as a therapist it is hard to know where to start. She has an amazing ability to meet you where you are; adapting her style and advice to what you need...even if you don't even know exactly what you need! I also think she has a very graceful way of gently leading you to making you improvements in your mental health in ways that you are actually ready for and that can be really lasting. She has really helped me become more mindful and self-aware, which has been tremendously helpful in dealing with all of life's struggles. If you're looking for truly meaningful improvements, in your life, I don't think you can find a better therapist than Shelby."
