Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas and Idaho. I believe Mental health matters for all ages! I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life, ages 8+ to the sages. Throughout our sessions together I will work to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to show up, just as you are. It’s ok, to not be ok! I am committed to walking with you, using evidence-based modalities, such as CBT, Client-Centered, Solution Focus, EMDR, and Psychoeducation, to ensure you meet your goals. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and received my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Amberton University. I have experience in Health Care and Mental Health services working for non-profit, for-profit, nursing homes, and home health. I have experience from entry-level positions to management experience. I enjoy teaching, working with others, and seeing the difference counseling makes in individuals' lives.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first few sessions we will begin by building rapport, going over what to expect out of counseling and what it means, my counseling approaches, what brings you to counseling, and your goals for therapy.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Being a BIPOC provider. Having experience working with teenagers, adults, and the geriatric population. History of being a mental health case manager, team leader, scheduling coordinator, and supervisor. History in completing assessments, treatment plans, and FMLA & Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letters.100% client success rate history.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I serve all populations from 12+ to the sages. The populations I serve range from low functioning to high functioning clients. I have experience of working with symtoms such as depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, grief, and LGBTQI community.

I was nervous to start over with a new provider but she was super easy to talk to!

She is very honest. Humble and addressed her thoughts on good tools to help me through my own battles. I look forward to my next session!

I felt like Mrs. Shirley knew how I was feeling and will be able to help me through my issues. I can see a hint of light at the end of my tunnel.
