Hello, I'm Shelley.
I am a depth-oriented psychotherapist. I am also an educator with the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association.
In my coursework, I support women to transform depression into joy through Depth Creativity.
DEPTH CREATIVITY can help you SEE, ATTUNE TO, AND HEAL YOUR NEGLECTED PARTS OF SELF
including inner child parts of self and the core wounds that block access to your joyful original nature.
Healing Depression is...
the recovery of core strength...
BY FACING THE EMOTIONAL TENSION stored in your body, you can finally access your vibrant Core Self. Joy already belongs to you. It is just covered up by avoided and unhealed emotional tension from the past.
In My Healing Journey...
of transforming...
DEPRESSION INTO JOY I have learned how to accurately tend to my inner child's developmental needs and intuitively process emotional pain through expressive art. I am now able to hold a strong container for joy that felt impossible earlier in my life.
My Journey
30 years ago, during a time of multiple family losses, I experienced a sudden crisis-induced spiritual awakening that lasted for six months. During that time, I became aware of the truth of my soul, which was completely at odds with the unhealthy and unconscious way I was living. Uncharacteristically, I took the risk of changing my life and relationships in significant, unexpected ways to reflect the higher visions I was seeing in my dreams and waking life.
Once my life changes were made for the better, my ego came back to the forefront, and I recognized that there were many layers of emotional pain, negative beliefs and unhealed core wounds in my subconscious to address. For ten years, after my spiritual opening, I engaged in daily shadow work to address the habitual repression of emotional needs, my codependent tendencies, as well as the neglected inner child parts that were causing emotional overwhelm and bouts of anxiety and depression.
For the past 20 years in my work as a psychotherapist, I have found that Creatives, Empaths, and Lightworkers have periodic intuitive visions of their original nature, only to have it obscured again by emotional overwhelm. I believe that healing the inner child's core wounding opens the portal back to our original soul nature. Facing and releasing stored emotional pain increases the strength and maturity to live a spirit-led, visionary life rather than one based mainly on survival fears.
I worked in one of Canada’s largest art therapy programs for ten years, and I offer a wide range of expressive arts experiences to help you access your subconscious mind and emotions and amplify your intuition through a unique modality that I call Depth Creativity.
