I am an unlicensed Psychotherapist registered with the state of CO, working toward my LPC. I graduated from Naropa University's Transpersonal Counseling Psychology Masters degree program in 2016. My goal as a Psychotherapist is to create a supportive, nurturing and inspirational space for my clients to explore their authentic self, and the obstacles, fears and/or traumas that prevent them from manifesting that self. My therapeutic orientations stem from the Transpersonal perspective, which focuses on the need for individuals to feel interconnected, loved, access their authentic self, and cultivate their self compassion/self-acceptance. I have an eclectic psychotherapeutic approach, Client Centered at its core. I am trained in Gestalt, Humanistic, Applied Existential Psychology, brainspotting, and body/mindfulness modalities.

I've worked as a Marriage and Family Therapist for more than 10 years. I've learned two things during that time. First,all of us want and deserve to live happily ever after. Second, sometimes happily ever after needs a little help.

I am work with Depression, Anxiety, and Mood Disorders; Challenges of Parenting (including working with challenging children, ADHD, Aspergers, and family transitions such as divorce); Eating Disorders; Adult Relationship Challengs (both traditional and same sex couples).

Professional Description: Shanly uses Somatic Experiencing as the foundation of her work as a therapist. Coupled with her mindfulness meditation practice and chi kung, she helps people of all ages alleviate their anxiety and depression due to unresolved trauma . Her belief is to also educate and train them how to work with improving their condition. She specializes with helping young adults as they navigate the difficult transition into adulthood.

My goal is to help the client "tame their inner rhinoceros". There are times in one's life when certain unhelpful behaviors end up controlling you instead of you being able to control them. I work with a wide age range of children and teens and their families to recognize and strategize against habitual negative behaviors. I work with individuals that struggle with PTSD, compulsion, anxiety, anger control, defiance and grief. I work with culturally diverse clients overcome troubling experiences with friends, school, family history and environmental events. I strive to strengthen the connection between youth, their schools, their families, and other providers with whom they are involved. See my website: Tameyourrhino.com for more information.

I received my masters degree at Naropa University the Transpersonal Counseling Psychology. My passion for therapeutic work has developed over the last 10 years working with adolescents and adults in wilderness, office, and community settings. I have found that deep level healing occurs in mindful relationship with others, seeing and experiencing this has laid the foundation for my practice. I have trainings in Virginia Satir's family systems model, Douglas Brady's Psychology of Symptoms technique and in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I work from a body-based perspective with attachment, trauma, sexuality issues, addictions, physical pain and illness, and gender issues, to name a few.

My goal is to help clients feel safe and supported to explore areas in their life that need attention. With compassion and understanding, clients learn to address fears, pain, and hurt. With experience and training, I help clients feel more skilled and empowered to create change in their life. Couples, young adults, and personal growth are a few of my specialty areas.

Couples feel more equipped in navigating challenges and conflicts safely, authentically, and successfully. Couples also gain more skills and resources in deepen levels of intimacy, closeness, and connection.

Young adults feel more confident in handling life stressors and difficult situations. Also, young adults learn new skills and ways of relating to create more overall success in their lives, relationships, and personal well-being.
