About Me
Hello, I'm Shelly! As a mom of 3 and a Professional Counselor, helping families and individuals grow stronger in their relationships is my passion! My goal is to help you feel better so you can live the life you’ve always dreamed of! With over 30 years in human development work, including 17 years in mental health, I specialize in getting to the root cause of behaviors, triggers, and relationship issues. I meet all clients where they are, with acceptance and understanding. Together we come up with a treatment plan to aid each person’s therapeutic growth. Haven Acres Counseling is set on a private farm utilizing the calming and restorative power of nature to enhance mental and emotional well-being. Animals can be included in your therapy experience if you choose. We are dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment where all clients can explore their emotions, overcome challenges, and build fulfilling lives.
Education & Experience
I have a Master of Arts degree in Counseling from St. Edward’s University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Speech-Language and Auditory Pathology from East Carolina University. My experience includes extensive training in trauma, attachment, Play Therapy, Infant-toddler mental health and EMDR training for children and adults. I have worked in Early Childhood Intervention, Parent Coaching, community mental health centers, churches, child care centers and schools. I love partnering with nature and animals (Animal Assisted Therapy).
