My passion is to help people going through difficult life transitions. Many events in life can affect our stability; divorce, retirement, grief and loss, illness, accidents, losing your job, or living through a pandemic. Sometimes it's even hard to know why we feel how we feel. I help individuals, and also couples, overcome these difficulties.

Jennifer Elve
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, CEAP, GMHS
Welcome to a space designed for clarity, support, and meaningful progress.
Navigating personal stress, professional demands, and family responsibilities can often leave you feeling stretched thin. My practice is built on the belief that therapy should be accessible, empowering, and deeply attuned to the reality of your daily life.
What sets my practice apart is the integration of specialized expertise with practical, real-world solutions:
Specialized Geriatric & Caregiver Support: As a Geriatric Mental Health Specialist (GMHS), I provide dedicated guidance for older adults and the "sandwich generation"—caregivers balancing aging parents, careers, and their own families. I help you navigate ambiguous loss, cognitive shifts, burnout, and complex family dynamics with practical strategies and emotional grace.
Workplace & Life Stress Mastery: Drawing on my background as a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP), I bring a structured, action-oriented approach to workplace stress, life transitions, and work-life harmony, helping you regain focus and maintain healthy boundaries.
Affirming & Whole-Person Care: My practice provides an inclusive, identity-affirming environment for individuals navigating LGBTQ+ experiences, chronic health conditions like HIV/AIDS, women’s issues, and pivotal life changes.
Clients choose to reach out because they need more than just someone to listen—they want a collaborative partner who brings clinical insight, structured coping tools, and genuine warmth. Whether you are seeking relief from immediate caregiver stress or striving for long-term personal growth, reaching out today is the first step toward reclaiming your well-being.

Kirk Shelton
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I approach therapy as a practical and relational process rather than a set of techniques. People usually come in when long-standing ways of coping no longer fit their current life, even if those strategies once made sense. My work focuses on understanding how those patterns developed, how they continue to function, and how they can be reorganized in ways that support greater flexibility and self-direction. Change matters to me as it shows up in how a person lives, relates, and responds outside the therapy space.
