You may be at a place in life you never expected or wanted, but you are taking the brave step to make a change by seeking help. I'm Sharon, and I believe no one should ever feel alone while journeying through the inevitable hard times, nor should anyone go without trying clinically effective interventions that promote growth. I offer compassionate, non-judgmental, value-driven, services to address your current needs. I am EMDR trained and use a variety of approaches, from verbal psychotherapies to creative therapies, with children, adolescents, and adults to uncover barriers to experiencing a more gratifying and meaningful life.

Aaron is generally easygoing but will not hesitate to confront and challenge his clients to help them achieve their goals. Sometimes, we must learn to face life how it is and not how we wish it to be. Usually, this allows for some effective change, creating a life that is more like we want it to be. His typical approach to treatment includes identifying the problem through interviews or assessments, pursuing a deeper and more robust understanding of those problems through reading or other homework, and then collaborating with the client to resolve the root issues through evidence-based interventions.

If so, I can help by listening compassionately, develop healthy perspectives and work together to find effective coping skills to improve your life.

Sometimes in life we may find ourselves in a “stuck” place, repeating the same unproductive patterns and losing our joy and hope. At these times, one of the best ways to handle life’s problems is to reach out for added support. I would love to join you in your growth process to address the challenges you are experiencing and assist you in finding the ways you want to move forward.

Have you ever felt like an imposter in school, work, or your relationships? Do you constantly live with the fear of being "found out"? What about striving for perfection in all aspects of your life? I know exactly what you're feeling: the never-ending cycle of self-criticism and anxiety. Navigating perfectionism-driven anxiety can be terrifying, and I don't want you to have to suffer this anymore. Holistic practices and Cognitive-Behavioral approaches can help reduce this anxiety tremendously.

My passion and expertise is in the treatment of trauma, specifically relational trauma. With the demands that Western society places on our time and energy to just meet basic survival needs, we have not been taught or experienced authentic and healthy relationships with others or ourselves. We will work together to identify your triggers or "stuck" points, and from there work with the mind and body to alter neuro-connections to create a different perspective and emotional experience. I utilize EMDR and traditional therapy and believe the path to healing is through strengthening adaptive connections with others and ourselves.

Does it feel like there are patterns that keep repeating throughout your life? Patterns that show up in your relationships, your parenting, your work? Early experiences often shape our beliefs about ourselves and the world, affecting how we navigate life as adults. By helping you identify these experiences, I can help you work towards unraveling those negative patterns and foster healthier, more positive ways of thinking and living. I want to help create lasting change for those of you who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self worth, substance use, trauma, depression, or relationship issues.

I believe that psychotherapy allows people to feel understood, seen, and accepted which, in turn, empowers individuals to improve their lives in all areas. My goal is to cultivate a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can address challenges and cultivate resilience. Whether you are seeking therapy to process recent life changes or address chronic symptoms, please reach out to me to see if I may be a good fit for you. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship coupled with evidence-based treatment is at the core of effective therapy.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you answer the "why can't I..." questions. "Why can't I seem to get a handle on my anxiety or depression?", "why can't I seem to get out of these cycles of relationships, jobs, friendships?", "why can't I seem to get rid of these negative thoughts?". A lot of times these questions can feel like running in circles. But what if it wasn't a circle, but a labyrinth where you hit a few dead ends and need some help getting back on track? If those questions keep you up at night, my aim is to create a supportive and engaging space where we can explore these together.
