Shir (they/he) is a queer, white, transmasculine & nonbinary licensed clinical social worker, EMDRIA-certified therapist, and EMDRIA-approved consultant. They specialize in neurodiversity affirming and queer and trans centered EMDR and care, and in supporting clients at the intersections of neurodivergence, trauma, patterns of disordered eating and OCD. They are often working with Autistic clients, ADHDers and people and people living with chronic illness as well as clients who want a politicized approach to healing and a decolonized approach to mental health.

Shir’s approach integrates evidence-based methods like EMDR and inference based CBT with compassionate, trauma-informed, affirming care to support the healing and growth of their clients.

They have over a decade of experience in providing therapy, working in both school-based and outpatient community mental health settings, offering individual, group, and family support to youth and families. Outside of clinical practice, Shir enjoys hanging out with their dog, Kai, playing piano and guitar, making electronic music and spending time with friends and family and in queer and trans community.
