Meet Shelly

We all face difficult and often heart-wrenching challenges. As an emotion-focused therapist, I partner with clients through their specific hardships and transitions. This can include loss, divorce, empty-nests, bringing home a new baby, and other life changes. Some of my other specialties include grief, depression, anxiety, forgiveness, reproductive trauma, emotional health for both men and women, and much more. I am also an EMDR trained therapist who can work with clients suffering from childhood and/or adult trauma, including PTSD. I specialize in working with healthcare workers. 

 

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I'm a referred Family Services provider. I'm available to help clients who struggle with faith-based issues around the church, their identity in how it relates to the church, and their relationship with God. Each of us has a unique relationship with God, the gospel, and the church, and I approach each session and class with a sacred respect for that relationship.

I hold a BASW from the University of Washington Tacoma and an MSW from Boston University. Working together, I help my clients find their own inherent strength and wisdom to encourage healing. If you live in Washington State and are interested in working with me in therapy, please go to TouchPoint Counseling at touchpointcounseling.com or call (253) 468-7899.
