Working with Shellee has been such a help for me. She truly is one of the most compassionate people I have ever known, and our time together has changed my life for the better. I was a little bit nervous about trying therapy, but Shellee was so warm and welcoming! If you are going through hard times, or if you just want to get more out of life, I would definitely recommend giving her a call. You won't regret it.
