SERVICES
Shelby has worked across various community settings to support the mental health needs of children, teens, adults, and post-secondary students. She offers psychotherapy services both in-person and virtually.
APPROACH
Shelby takes an integrative approach, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities to best support each client’s unique needs and goals, including:
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Narrative Therapy
• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
• Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Therapy with Shelby is grounded in trauma-informed, person-centred, and strength-based care. She brings a grounded and compassionate presence to each session, helping each client feel seen and heard. Shelby offers a collaborative space to slow down, make sense of lived experiences, ease life’s stressors, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity. She also views therapy as a space to build resilience, help clients better understand themselves, clarify values, and strengthen connection to self-care, even when life feels steady.
Her approach prioritizes building safety, trust, and a strong therapeutic relationship with clients.
