“I value hard work, and my style as a therapist reflects that as I am direct with my clients. I challenge them to work toward the change necessary to create the life that they want. I strive to be affirming and inclusive of all people. I also love to include all pets!” 

Shelley brings a diverse and grounded background to her clinical work. She previously worked with Rural Minnesota CEP, supporting low-income families in achieving self-sufficiency through employment. Prior to that, she worked in a residential facility for individuals with traumatic brain injuries. She has extensive experience providing group, individual, and family therapy, as well as school-based day treatment services. Shelley specializes in working with children, adolescents, and their families.

Shelley is a certified sex therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists(AASECT), a distinction she earned in 2019—making her one of the few providers in the Fargo–Moorhead area with this specialized credential.
