“Shirelle is a thorough listener, paying attention to what is said and not said. She careful to observe patterns and ask questions to help you explore those pattern. Every session is wrapped up with solutions, strategies, and/or reminders of self love. We talk about the day to day stuff but we also get to the business of looking at traumatic experiences and how its been dealt with - or not.
I've put off seeking and trying personal therapy for more than five years since first feeling like I should explore the option. It took a long time but I'm glad to have started at the top of this year and now I'm showing up weekly.
Talking with Shirelle has unlocked matters for me to contemplate and journal about as a means of "shadow work" or self-awareness.”

Together, we’ll: Define meaningful goals, Reflect on your growth, Gain clarity around your path, and Develop strategies to build personal resilience You don’t have to go at it alone. Let’s start this journey together.
I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions.

What should a new client know about working with you?
I practice a multifaceted, evidence-informed approach that is tailored to the unique needs of each client. My work draws from several therapeutic modalities, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — exploring and challenging unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors; building skills for coping, problem solving, and emotion regulation.
Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) — integrating interventions that address the impact of past traumas, helping clients process traumatic experiences, re-regulate emotions, and make sense of their symptoms in a safe, structured way.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — supporting clients in managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, enhancing mindfulness, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.
Client-Centered / Person-Centered Therapy — emphasizing unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness; creating a safe, nonjudgmental space in which clients can explore their own path toward growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
What You Can Expect in Therapy with Me
A warm, validating space to discuss your thoughts and feelings openly, without fear of judgment.
Together, we’ll clarify what’s important to you: your values, your goals, what “change” looks like in your life.
We may use structured interventions (e.g. CBT worksheets, behavioral experiments, DBT skill work) as well as more exploratory, reflective work (e.g. identity, meaning, relational patterns).
We’ll attend carefully to any traumatic history or distress — building safety, regulation, and coping skills before moving into deeper work.
Progress is collaborative — we’ll regularly check in on what’s working, what feels difficult, and adjust accordingly.
