A place where you do not have to hold it all
Being the person others turn to can make it easy to postpone your own needs. You may be carrying the emotional weight of the work, navigating changes in your personal life, or noticing that familiar patterns are asking for attention again.
Therapy offers a place where you can step out of the professional role. There is room to speak freely, reflect on what feels difficult, and stay connected to the parts of life that need care beyond your work.

Therapy that makes room for reflection
Shelley's work is psychodynamic and insight-oriented. Sessions can address the immediate challenges in front of you while also making space to understand the relationships, history, and emotional patterns that may be shaping them.
This is not a professional consultation or supervision relationship. It is individual therapy centered on you: your life, your experience, and what you need to understand more clearly.
Beginning therapy
Use the appointment request form or call the office to ask about availability, insurance, and whether Shelley's approach feels like a good fit. Online sessions are available throughout Michigan, and in-person appointments are available in Shelby Township.
