Life is ever changing; the challenge is to be able to manage and keep moving forward while maintaining a positive and healthy mindset. Most of the time the answers to our questions, fears and even desires are just a matter of reaching forward to take action and working through it. Let's work together, I'm here to help.
We are communal beings and benefit from the assistance of someone coming along side us to help. That is what I believe therapy is a collaborative effort to reach your desired goals.

She has been exceptional and all of the advice that she provides, and helps me explore the ins and outs of the situation that I’m involved in. She properly challenges me to think outside of my own self, which is needed in the situation that I’m currently in!

Shirley is great at validating my feelings while also pushing me to question some of my thought processes. This has helped me to better work through some of my irrational thoughts while also understanding why I am feeling these emotions.

So far yes she has help me but she is still helping me to become a better man. I recommend her to anybody who needs help. She listens and tell you how it is, she knows what she is doing and she is a respectful person.
