Meet Sheila
Before I became a psychotherapist, I got several signs that pointed me to this calling. I was told I was a good listener my whole life, and I was always interested in learning stories about people who had overcome indescribable hardship, and still found a way to thrive.
First, this pushed me to work as a speech and language therapist (which I loved), but when I saw a therapist for my own struggles, I felt a nudge to try something different.
The seed of my therapist journey was planted during my own experience receiving psychotherapy. My life, like all of ours, has been dealt its fair share of trauma, pain, failure, and struggle, and yet it’s when I sought out the support of a therapist that I realized a very powerful truth – no matter who we are, what we’ve experienced, or what we’ve done, we are all capable of profound healing. No one is excluded from this truth.
So when I started seeing my own wounds getting stitched together in the presence of a patient, compassionate, empowering therapist, I felt a strong pull to help others with their healing. I realized that my compassion for human stories paired with my personal story of pain and healing, had given me the foundation necessary to become a therapist who could make a difference.
Fast forward to today and I’ve been serving clients from all walks of life for over 25 years. I can’t express what a privilege it is to walk alongside so many incredible human beings who have decided they are worthy of healing and are ready to choose a life full of joy, resilience, peace, courage, hope, growth, and love. You have all the answers inside you, my work is to offer you the safe and supportive space to unpack them and support you in charting a new path ahead.
I look forward to connecting with you and am so excited for you to begin this life-changing journey of self-discovery!
