Radical Uprising Collective

Maybe this is the first time you’re considering therapy or maybe it's one attempt of many. Either way you’ve already taken a brave first step on the path and I'm glad you're here.

I’m Shelly, a Licensed Social Worker in Colorado Springs. I work with teens and adults who are ready to move beyond survival, people who want to understand themselves more deeply, break old patterns, and create lives filled with meaning and connection. My style is collaborative, relational, and non-pathologizing. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you stuck, give voice to the parts of your story that have gone unspoken, and reconnect you with your inner strength.

I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients, as well as survivors of domestic violence and sexual trauma. Therapy with me might include talking, creative approaches like art or mindfulness, or simply creating space where you feel safe enough to finally breathe.

My belief is simple: healing isn’t about “fixing” you or forcing you into a system that doesn’t fit. It’s about uncovering meaning, building connections, and discovering what life can look like when you’re free to be yourself.
