Professional Development

Through individual and group coaching, supervision and training, I help you work through your areas of struggle and recognize and honor your strengths.

 

Deepen your professional skill in yourself in areas such as:

  • group and workshop facilitation

  • trauma-informed and oppression-informed practice

  • supervision

  • giving and receiving feedback

  • tending to self as a practitioner

My practice is collaborative and individually tailored for you

Together we decide the shape and timeline of our work, with you in the lead. I work virtually and can connect with you wherever you are. Our work together can span from one session to a few months to ongoing partnership.

My expertise

My work is rooted in decades of practice supervising, mentoring, teaching, counseling and coaching individuals and groups of diverse identities, ages and life stories in a wide array of settings from community based organizations to private practice.

“Shira offered a non-judgmental space where I could be honest about the challenges I was facing in the work. She helped me identify my growing edges and supported me in my professional growth.”

“Shira has a rare ability to listen deeply, invite meaningful story and hold perspective. She brings insight, an open heart, reverence, humor and can connect with a diverse range of people.”

“What I found to be most helpful is Shira’s use of questioning and her own observations, which guided me in identifying areas for growth. She helped me notice and change unhelpful patterns of behavior, as well as draw out my strengths.”
