Marriage and family therapy Shy Porter Therapy
Specialties: Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum, Relationship Issues, Couples Counseling, Child or Adolescent, Anxiety,

Introduction

I specialize in working with women who are struggling with infertility, pregnancy, or postpartum challenges; adult individuals trying to cope with daily life challenges; couples who are dating, engaged, married, or contemplating the decision to stay or leave; and adolescents and young adults navigating life transitions. Through a collaborative and engaged process, we will work together to help you gain insight and self-awareness, find inner peace, achieve your goals, and/or, in the context of couples therapy, navigate the challenges of your relationship in order to regain stability, trust, and emotional safety. My therapy style is authentic, curious, and nonjudgmental. I infuse compassionate humor as often as possible. My goal is to work diligently to empower you with the tools you need to gain insight and emerge from the therapy process stronger, happier, and with a clearer sense of self. Let's work together to get you where you want to be.
