Get to Know Sharon

Therapist | LMHC

I know that sometimes asking for help can be difficult. Rest assured, we all need help at one time or another in our lives. I am dedicated to helping children, teens and adults discover their unique voice and express themselves in a safe, supportive and nonjudgemental space. With a warm, client-centered approach, I specialize in guiding individuals through life’s challenges—whether it’s anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, racial identity exploration, stress or family dynamics.

Drawing from evidence-based practices and a deep understanding of developmental and emotional needs, you and I will together create an environment that is safe to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences where you will feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether working a with a child struggling to put feelings into words or an adult learning to reclaim his or her story, I believe that healing begins with being truly seen and heard.

That being said, my work is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard, understood and empowered to live authentically. Whether you are seeking support through a difficult time or striving for greater self-awareness and fulfillment, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey to healing and wholeness. Together, we will work to uncover your strengths, develop coping strategies and cultivate the confidence to thrive as your truest self.
