“Through effective
counseling Shirley has been able to make a significant difference in the lives
of couples and individuals.
I would encourage you to allow her, through Christ, to make a difference in your life as well.”
Dan Seaborn, President, Winning At Home, Inc.
"After receiving a crisis call from a couple in my ministry I knew immediately that Shirley was the individual to meet with them.
With lack of qualified individuals in our area to help with their specific situation, this was going to require
someone to come in and provide intensive counseling.
Arrangements were made for Shirley to fly to our location for an extensive weekend long session.
She provided couple, one on one therapy, as well as phone sessions before and after the weekend.
The attention she provided was above and beyond what was expected and was extended with great
Godly compassion and professionalism. This type of care provided not only the couple but church staff
with the much needed support to navigate such a difficult situation."
Tracy Parker, Children's Ministry Director, Victory Highway Wesleyan Church

She is a skilled therapist who I can confidently recommend.”
Rosalyn Baker, LMSW, LMFT, MAC, CNC
“Shirley has consulted with me on cases and so I know her work indirectly. She is an eager learner and quick to seek help to expand her understanding of cases with which she works. A particularly important part of Shirley’s work is her level of compassion and empathy for people who have been treated badly. I would say she has a gift of helping people feel empowered so they do not remain victims. Much of this work occurs through her encouragement to move toward forgiveness. In addition, her wisdom and insight help people make sense of the chaos they are experiencing.”
Dr. Phil Budd, PhD Psychologist/Faculty, Saint Anthony Hospital

I highly recommend Shirley as a Clinical Social Worker
and keep her number close by for patient referrals.”
