Shirlee is a recent addition to the Meredith Psychological and Testing Services family. After receiving her Bachelor’s degree, Shirlee worked for 5 years with adults with developmental disabilities and adolescents on the autism spectrum. She strives to provide a safe, warm, and welcoming environment where she and the client can work towards building a strong relationship and working through issues in a culturally sensitive manner.
Shirlee earned her Master’s degree from California State University San Marcos. She is currently enrolled in the doctoral counseling psychology program at Western Michigan University. Her most recent experience has been with children and adults from racially and ethnically diverse populations, individuals with developmental disabilities, gender non-binary individuals, and individuals in crisis. Shirlee believes that therapy should be individualized and collaborative, and her approach assumes that clients experience challenges or crises that are a natural part of human existence. Assisting clients in realizing their power in navigating these challenges is important. Shirlee’s private practice includes working with individuals, couples, adolescents, children, racial/ethnic minorities, and sexual minorities. Shirlee has experience working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as individuals dealing with social and family pressures and relational issues.
