About
Hi there, I'm Shirley! Do you ever feel like your emotions are a bit too much to handle? Are you facing challenges in your relationships, at work, or with your health? It’s common to struggle with being kind to yourself, and feelings of loneliness can really weigh you down. If you relate to any of these experiences, I warmly encourage you to reach out. Together, we can explore what has been holding you back and embark on an extraordinary journey toward restoring your inner balance. Our approach will be holistic, focusing on nourishing your mind, body, and spirit. In our first session together, we will begin our journey towards your success. We'll start with introductions and then discuss the challenges you are facing. Together, we will create a personalized plan to help you overcome these obstacles. I am confident that with dedication and perseverance, you will achieve the healing you seek. I truly believe in the work I do with individuals who have experienced trauma. My clients are motivated to heal from their past experiences and improve their lives. I also have a strong passion for working with people on the Autism Spectrum Disorder, as this is an underserved population that I am dedicated to helping.
"Some clients are comfortable just being heard by their therapist, and others might seek a transformative process utilizing unique tools from specific modalities. I am open-minded and consistently improve my approach while increasing a variety of techniques. I do this to help your individuality and personalize your needs. That is why you need to let me know what you are looking for in therapy."
