About Sheila
She emphasizes plain, direct work in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking and build everyday skills. That often means learning small, doable habits and trying them between visits.
Her background includes work with homeless populations, older adults, people in prison, college students, and military communities. She also taught a college course on Death and Dying, and brings that experience to grief and end-of-life conversations. Sheila has significant experience with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, relationship concerns, and caregiver strain.
Her style blends cognitive behavioral work with motivational interviewing. She helps clients spot negative thinking, test different viewpoints, and choose practical steps that fit their life. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Sheila offers video chat, phone calls, and live text chat as ways to meet. Because she is a recent widow, her dog Ozzie may sometimes be present during sessions as he adjusts to loss. She hopes to support people as they rebuild confidence, process big losses, and find clearer ways forward.
