“No matter where a client is in their journey, I believe that every client has the capacity for remarkable resilience and healing.”

Shira (she/her) uses a psychodynamic trauma-informed approach that emphasizes the mind-body relationship and incorporates skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Shira works with clients to ensure that therapy is a collaborative process where clients feel respected and heard.

Additionally, Shira has experience working with clients struggling with life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and issues surrounding women’s sexual health.
