Come home to the truth that…
Individual therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and EMDR, offered in person and virtually throughout Rhode Island.
An integrative approach weaving together trauma-informed therapy, somatic healing, EMDR, and attachment-focused care to go beyond symptom management and support healing at the root.
Together, we explore what shaped you, unravel the survival patterns that once protected you, and reconnect with your needs, your voice, and your inner knowing.
A remembering of who you are and who you’ve always been: whole, worthy, and already enough.
This space may be for you if....
You want to live more authentically but find yourself held back by shame, self-doubt, perfectionism, or people-pleasing.
You feel stuck in the same patterns, despite your insight, self-awareness, and best efforts to change.
You feel deeply, care deeply, and notice what others miss, but have spent years believing these qualities make you "too sensitive."
You struggle to identify your own needs, trust your own voice, or make decisions without second-guessing yourself.
You find yourself overgiving, overfunctioning, or taking responsibility for the emotions and well-being of others.
You keep having the same conflicts in your relationships, find yourself caught in recurring relationship dynamics, or struggle to communicate your needs without guilt, fear, or defensiveness.
You long for deeper connection but feel stuck between wanting closeness and protecting yourself from disappointment, rejection, or hurt.
You are carrying the impact of emotional neglect, attachment wounds, a mother wound, father wound, estrangement, or complicated family relationships.
You are learning to live with grief—for a person, a relationship, a season of life, or the love, protection, guidance, and connection you needed but never received.
You find yourself at a threshold of change—whether that's motherhood, a career transition, a relationship shift, or a season of becoming—and want support navigating what comes next.
You are ready to move beyond survival and cultivate a more connected, authentic, and fulfilling relationship with yourself.

Welcome, I’m Shaelyn and I'm so glad you’re here.
I believe many of the struggles we carry today make sense when we understand the experiences that shaped them. Much of what we carry did not start with us, but it can shift with us. This belief in intergenerational healing is at the heart of my work.
I work with thoughtful, self-aware adults who may appear capable on the outside while feeling stuck, disconnected, or caught in patterns that no longer serve them. Many have spent years adapting, attuning to others, carrying more than their share, or becoming who they needed to be to stay connected and feel safe.
My role is not to “fix” you. Together, we make sense of what shaped you, honor the patterns that once protected you, and create space for embodied change. This work is about reconnecting with your body, your needs, your voice, and your inner knowing.
As a licensed therapist with specialized training in EMDR, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and perinatal mental health, I integrate evidence-based therapy with somatic, attachment-focused, parts-based, and expressive approaches.
Whether you are healing trauma, navigating anxiety or relationships, moving through pregnancy, postpartum, or motherhood, grieving, or finding your way through a life transition, therapy can be a place to come home to yourself and create something different moving forward.
