Hi there, I'm Sharon!

Life can throw us into a whirlwind; may it be a life event, trauma, or just something that tells us we need to get back to (or figure out) what means most in life. Just like these events, our responses to them are unique to us. My role as a therapist is to help you through your unique journey of change, growth, and healing.

My focus

I support individuals facing grief, LGBTQIA+ and transgender concerns, life transitions, OCD, relationship and parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, and illness, substance use, stress, self-esteem, and divorce.

My approach

The therapeutic techniques I use are based on your needs and where you are in your stage of change. I specialize in CBT, trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness, harm reduction approach to substance use/dependence, psychological management of chronic illness, adjustments to new diagnoses and/or life events, and stress management.
