My Specialties

  • That quiet inner voice telling you that you’re not enough can be exhausting. In therapy, you can gently rebuild self-esteem from the inside out, learning to feel confident, capable, and worthy just as you are.

  • Perfection doesn’t have to define your worth. Therapy can help you let go of impossible standards and reconnect with the parts of yourself that feel authentic, joyful, and whole.

  • Do you often wonder if others are upset with you or find it hard to say no? Together, we can explore boundaries, self-respect, and your own needs so relationships feel more secure and manageable.

  • If social situations leave you replaying every moment in your mind, we can work on easing fear of judgment and building confidence so you can connect with others more comfortably.

  • When you’re stuck in overthinking, checking “just in case,” or needing things to feel “just right,” OCD can make everyday life feel overwhelming. I help teens and women understand intrusive thoughts and gradually reduce compulsions, so uncertainty feels easier to navigate.

  • If you often pick apart your reflection or wish your body looked different, you’re not alone. Therapy offers a space to release self-criticism and build a kinder relationship with your body.

  • If you feel caught in cycles of restricting, bingeing, or other painful eating patterns, we’ll work toward creating a balanced, compassionate relationship with food (without guilt or shame).

About Me

Hi, I’m Shelby! I’m a licensed mental health therapist in Dallas, Texas specializing in therapy for teen girls and young women. I support clients who are struggling with self-esteem, anxiety, body image concerns, and eating disorders. My passion is helping teens and women develop confidence, strengthen their identity, and build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with themselves.

In sessions, I help clients navigate the pressures of perfectionism, fear of judgment, and the constant comparison to others. Together, we work on reducing anxiety, improving coping skills, and fostering a sense of worth that isn’t defined by achievements or appearance. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions, learn to set healthy boundaries, and reconnect with who you are beyond expectations.

Healing isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong,” it’s about uncovering your strengths, quieting the inner critic, and embracing self-acceptance. If you’re looking for self-esteem counseling, anxiety therapy, or support for body image and eating concerns in Dallas, I’m here to help you find confidence, resilience, and freedom in the life you’re building.
