I help people connect and grow in relationships. I help couples and families find their way through the difficulties of being in relationship when the uncertain, the unexpected, and the uninvited threaten to unravel the very fabric that would otherwise get them through it. Things like dealing with past trauma or family issues, coming out, getting married, having a child, addiction, a diagnosis, losing a job, or an affair put strain on a couple or family. In time, it can sap all energy and leave members struggling to meet the changing needs of their relationships. I meet you in the struggle and help you figure out how to reconnect.

When life feels like a knotted ball of yarn, sometimes we need help finding a thread to grab. As a therapist, I support my clients in finding that thread. I work with clients and couples who are experiencing work challenges, disability, life transitions, OCD, anxiety and depression. Couples often will come to me when they are feeling afraid and lonely in their relationships, like they are walking on eggshells. As your couples’ therapist I will work in supporting you to share with each other vulnerably and fully.

Going into therapy can be an intimidating process. Beyond the logistics, finding a therapist that you connect with and that you trust to guide you in your mental health journey is no small task. I do my best to make this process as easy and straightforward as possible. Flexible scheduling, individualized care, and prompt responsiveness are all things you can expect from working with me. With over 6 years within the mental health field, I have extensive experience with youth and young adults, having worked in youth residential programs and as a school social worker in both a high school and elementary school setting.

I believe therapy can be transformative. At its core, therapy is a process of self-discovery and radical acceptance. Collaborations in therapy can help us lead fulfilling lives and empower us to find our place in the world. I’m proud to live at the intersection of queer, transgender, Filipinx, and polyamorous experiences. As a believer in trauma-informed and person-centered care, I create a supportive, brave space for people coping with everyday stressors and navigating longer-term goals.

Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to knowing yourself. Seeking therapy is a brave and honorable act. Healing and growth come from inviting ourselves to listen to our mind and body so we are able to approach life with self awareness and acceptance. By creating a safe space where one can feel heard, understood and accepted, I use humor and warmth to help clients gain insight, self awareness and finding resiliency in life's challenges.

We are often socialized to look outward, whether it’s to our family, friends, or societal expectations in order to fit in and succeed. Therapy is an opportunity to intentionally look inward at ourselves and help us find directions to live as our most authentic self.

To be truly successful in life, one must learn to think successfully. Rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, my goal since becoming a therapist more than fifteen years ago is to help my clients learn to think more evidenced-based, rational thoughts. No matter the presenting issue, learning to think in a way that conforms to reality and truth can give one a better chance to feel and behave in a way that is preferred. Additionally, I hope to help my clients understand that life is difficult, but learning life skills such as problem solving, assertive communication, conflict resolution and time management, life can be very manageable.

Hi, I'm Shirley! I help anxious people-pleasers discover their voice so they can communicate more effectively and build healthy relationships. Do you frequently prioritize others over yourself? Does advocating for yourself leave you feeling selfish or guilty? I want to help you gain the confidence and skills to express your needs, wants, and boundaries because you are ENOUGH. Together, we can release the fear, stress, guilt, and shame that hold you back. You may have focused on others for too long and forgotten what makes you feel alive. Silence isn't always the answer, and conflicts don't have to create chaos. Let's find balance.
