More about Sharon
- 22 years' experience

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and self-esteem issues. I offer a compassionate, faith-informed approach that honors each person's unique journey and emotional needs.
My therapeutic work focuses on addressing a wide range of concerns, including social anxiety, relationship dynamics, life transitions, and personal growth. I'm particularly committed to supporting women, young adults, and older individuals as they work through difficult experiences like divorce, caregiver stress, and personal healing.
Drawing from a trauma-informed and empathetic framework, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and rediscover their inner strength. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and understanding as you move toward greater emotional wellness and self-acceptance.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
