Hello, I’m Shelley!

The founder of In Balance Counseling, and a latch-key, SugarHill Gang to KC and the Sunshine Band listening, pac-man playing, Brat pack movie watching, middle-aged mom and a proud Gen Xer.

I graduated in 2013 with a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Regis University and started In Balance Counseling with the vision to support individuals, teens, and couples in Colorado through a holistic and systemic lens.

Growing up with a single mom in low income housing, and despite a background of trauma, I have worked tirelessly, with the support of a good therapist, to heal and to grow. The healing process profoundly changed me into a more confident person who has learned to trust herself and the world more and who can make decisions and ask for what she needs!

On a daily basis I continue to strive for balance, both internally within my beliefs and emotions, and externally in how I navigate the world as a middle-aged woman and mother.

As a fierce and caring therapist, I am passionate about working with couples, moms, and middle aged women to create healing relationships. I bring empathy, education, and years of experience into my practice, guiding you towards internal healing and fulfilling relationships.
