About Shira

  • I have always wanted and been interested in helping people make positive changes in their lives. I have treated clients with substance-abuse, co-occurring disorders and behavioral/mental health diagnosis. I have worked in an outpatient and inpatient substance abuse and Mental Health clinic settings. My clinical experience includes many different therapeutic approaches. I have experience working with all ages, but specialize in adolescence to older adults, couples, and families.

  • An initial meeting with me will be completing an intake process of me getting to know you - as my client better. Making progress in therapy looks like completing both short and long-term goals and feeling accomplished overtime. I often find assigning homework can be helpful, but I am open to a client centered approach, realizing homework is not for everyone.

  • I do believe that not every therapist is meant for every client and vice versa. It’s all about finding a meaningful helpful match.
