Congratulations on taking this FIRST step. Life’s challenges can leave you feeling defeated, exhausted, anxious and depressed. All of these feelings can take a toll on our daily lives, sense of self and relationships. However with the right therapeutic support those feelings can decrease or become easier and more manageable. I also have a special interest in supporting individuals and couples who have breast cancer or have experienced breast cancer and its lasting impacts. I’m an out-of-network provider.
I view therapy as a collaborative process. We work together to discover your treatment so that you can reach the goals that are important to you. I draw from a variety of approaches in my work: CBT, Solution Focus, and Mindfulness are a few approaches that we may use. Faith is integrated at the client’s request and comfort level.
I offer an environment of acceptance and curiosity. I'm dedicated to helping clients develop real and workable solutions to the obstacles they encounter as they journey through life. Take a SECOND step and contact me. I can be found on Instagram at TherapywithShirley
