Individual Sessions &
Mindfulness-Based Life Skills
Shelly works with teens, adults, families, and couples who are ready for a change and motivated to engage in self-awareness work. She uses an integrated approach that includes Developmental Psychology, Humanistic Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Narrative Therapy, Relational-Cultural Theory, Contemplative Arts & Sciences, and Body-Centered Psychotherapy approaches.
Mindfulness-Based Life Skills (MBLS) sessions are custom-created to provide awareness, education and support related to the client's specific goals and needs. If a client is referred by a health or school professional, Shelly can serve as a treatment team collaborator to create a plan that best supports the overall work.
Individuals do not need any prior experience with mindfulness or therapy.
Individual Sessions

Couples are invited to commit to 4 Foundations of Mindful Partnership sessions whether they are in a process of relationship uncertainty or they are enhancing their relationship.
Examples of 6 Week Mindfulness-Based Life Skills Sessions
Inner Experience
Six sessions on developing internal awareness – mind, heart & body connections. These sessions are designed to build a mindful foundation of paying attention to one’s internal experience with kindness and compassion. Basic stress-reduction and easy to follow mindfulness practices are learned along with education regarding the individual’s needs.
Outer Experience
With a foundation of attention and internal awareness work, clients move on to building inner resilience skills for taking their wisdom out into the world.
