Many of the people I work with feel pressure to have it all together but feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who they are becoming. They may be navigating relationship challenges, confidence issues, or patterns they cannot seem to break. I help by creating a space where they can slow down, make sense of what they are experiencing, and begin showing up in ways that feel more honest and aligned.

I am passionate about supporting clients through anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, identity exploration, and trauma.
You may often feel like there is no space for you or your feelings or worry if you share them with others they may reject you. You may question if the feelings you have are "right." As a therapist I seek to make clients feel welcome and free to express themselves in a world that doesn't always make it so. I believe our identities, culture, and lived experiences are essential to the healing process, and I strive to make therapy a safe, affirming, and empowering space. I provide therapy for adults and adolescents with respect for their unique identities, values, and cultural experiences.

I help anxious people pleasers rebuild their self-confidence and calmly respond to their emotions without reacting to them (passively or aggressively).
Hi, I’m Shirley! I see you, high-functioning, anxious people-pleasers! You’re a master at juggling everyone’s needs as the peacemaker in your family. However, you barely have time to catch your breath. You’ve learned to compartmentalize your emotions and told yourself that you’ll deal with them “later”. Well, now you’re overwhelmed. The LAST thing you’d want is to burden anyone or show that you don’t have your sh!t together. Deep down, you crave a deep sense of calm, acceptance, and belonging. You want to heal intergenerational trauma so you don’t pass these struggles onto your future kids.

You’re thoughtful, self-aware, and probably the friend everyone comes to for advice - but inside, things still feel messy. Maybe dating feels confusing or discouraging, anxiety won’t quiet down, or family dynamics keep pulling you back into old roles. You’ve done a lot of reflecting already, but you want something deeper than surface-level coping skills. Therapy with me is a space to be real, curious, and honest (no pressure to have it all together). We’ll laugh when it makes sense, sit with the hard stuff when needed, and gently challenge patterns that no longer serve you.

Anxiety and depression are tough and can make some days feel overwhelming. It can keep you stuck in overthinking or drain your motivation. You are not alone and things can change. Therapy doesn’t need to “fix” you as you are not broken, but it can serve as a way to fill your toolbox and build skills needed to make life more manageable and enjoyable. With over seven years of experience, I bring a deep commitment to supporting those navigating trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. My work is rooted in compassion and collaboration and a commitment to the well-being of my clients.
