About Sharon

People come to me with trauma, relationship problems, depression, and anxiety. LGBTQ+ clients are among the people I work with, and I am an ally to bisexual, gay, and lesbian clients.

I listen, and I offer different perspectives, because it can be hard to see the direction on your own. I hope to help you find the strength and the answers that are already in you. My view is systemic. We are all a part of the world we live in. We influence our world, and it influences us. The relationship between us matters.

The therapy I offer is by video only. I find that way of meeting effective. You do not have to leave work or arrange childcare to attend.

It is brave work, and it is hard work. I will walk that road with you.

How Sharon works

I use family systems work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma-focused therapy. If something I say is heard as negative, I want you to tell me. Being willing to share that with me elevates our relationship.

What I want is for you to find your own strength and your own answers.

What happens in our first session?

I will ask what is difficult and what you want help with. You can ask how I work. I will listen, offer other perspectives, and stay interactive.

Who do you work with best?

I work best with someone who will make a commitment to themselves and be open about what is hard. I see individuals, couples, families, and groups, including preteens, teens, adults, and elders. LGBTQ+ clients are part of who I see.
