Reconnect to What Matters

Hi, I’m Shelby, a queer, liberation-oriented psychotherapist in Los Angeles.

I provide therapy services to individual adults, children, and people in relationships.

I am passionate about helping others become more connected to themselves, their loved ones, and the world around them.

Individual Therapy

Therapy is a place to explore the self and work towards a sense of wholeness and belonging. In my practice, I emphasize self-knowledge, self-acceptance, and agency while trusting the psyche's innate ability to heal itself. My role is to support you with the warmth and empathy necessary to access vulnerability with a sense of safety. We will work through shame, process trauma, and strengthen trust in your internal wisdom.

Child Therapy

I work with children towards growing their ability to feel secure in themselves. We will work on strengthening their sense of identity, learn to be with big emotions, and develop skills for self-expression and confidence.

Relationship Therapy

In relationship therapy, we will create a space to hear and be heard while honing our abilities to provide empathy and support to our partners. My goal is for those in relationships to leave therapy with the skills to continue co-healing in their daily lives.
