Hi there, I'm Sharnis!

I'm glad you're here. Therapy doesn't have to be something you face alone. I offer a warm, judgment-free space where you can show up as your authentic self. As a Black woman, I understand the pressure to always be strong. Here, you'll find a place to breathe, be seen, heal, and grow—without pretending you're okay.

My focus

I support African American young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and everyday stress. Whether you're healing, feeling stuck, or seeking personal growth, I'll meet you with compassion, cultural understanding, and support every step of the way.

My approach

My goal is to help you uncover the strength that's already within you, heal from life's challenges, and build practical tools for lasting change. Through a person-centered approach, CBT, and mindfulness, we'll work together to help you heal, grow, and create a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and authentically yours.
