A note from Shirley
I am licensed with 11+ years of professional work experience. I offer a respectful, varied, and empathic approach to therapy. My goal is to work with you to identify personal strengths, develop healthy coping and problem solving methods, and create ways to establish and sustain a mental and emotional balance. Let's work together to direct your path and learn from life's experiences. You are the expert of your story. You may have unknown strengths that can assist you in overcoming circumstances that challenge and overwhelm you. Taking the first step takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
