My counseling service was created to help individual adults and couples untangle the ineffective and unhealthy patterns in life and relationships. Clients receive deep, lasting results with me because we address not just your most pressing problems, but also explore the problematic patterns in life that contributed to your current distress. I have a warm, engaging, open style that provides a trusting environment for successful therapy and change in the lives of my clients.

My specialty area is dealing with sexual betrayal from both sides of the issue. You may find yourself tangled in a web taking care of everyone's needs but your own, being lonely even when with others, saying yes when you want to say no, or being blamed and taking the blame for others responsibilities.

I find it helpful in my practice to be direct and to the point, while maintaining professional and nurturing relationships with my clients. I believe strongly in modeling healthy boundaries and helping clients to strengthen their own. My approach is interactive. I ask questions and give feedback during sessions.

Emotionally Abused Women

Hosted by

Shirley Valk

Shirley leads this group as a professional counselor. However, that doesn’t tell the whole story. She lived in an emotionally abusive relationship for 22 years. Shirley states that emotional abuse is so insidious because the person experiencing this kind of abuse has no bruises or broken bones to prove there is abuse. Emotional abuse is real and very damaging to one’s self esteem. Come and join Shirley as she walks you through steps of healing.
