More about Sharon

  • 17 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Welcome: My name is Sharon. I work with those experiencing life uncertainties, trauma, relationship challenges and family conflict: including parental and adult child estrangement, family black sheep, scapegoating, caregiver stress and persistent forms of psychological distress caused by anxiety, depression and suppressed anger.

Therapy can bring to the forefront, unanswered questions about why we encounter the same difficulties over and over again or what do I want in the absence of social influence.

My approach is holistic, person centered, and strength based. I believe that each person is the expert on their own life and therapy can act as that first step in the direction of choice.

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
