(she/her)
I am an independent licensed clinical/certified Social Worker. I first started my career in Child Welfare in various states/levels of government as an investigator and elevated to a supervisory role. I also hail from the US Department of Veterans Affairs in a Management role. However, it is my pleasure to now serve as Therapist and in my private practice. My main specialty areas include, but are not limited to Depression, Anxiety, Trauma/PTSD, Intimate Partner Violence, Grief and Loss, Narcissism, Codependency, Geriatric, etc.
Our first session together will be an intake session where we will have a chance to get to know each other. It will be an introduction for us and we will get a chance to know each other. We will discuss and formulate a treatment plan for further work as well as address any concerns or fears about the therapeutic experience. At the end of the intake session generally the modality, the goal and the number of sessions up to the termination/discharge session will also be decided.
So my niche area is working through past trauma with clients as a means to becoming their best self. It is important to address trauma as past trauma informs who were are in the present. However, being trauma focused means that you focus on uncovering any positive outcome as the result of said trauma or any lessons learned that can help foster personal growth. Once it is determined how trauma has shaped your life, good or bad, then we focus on moving forward to achieve healing. The goal is for clients to heal through use of trauma informed techniques that foster a feeling of safety, ease, and empowerment.
I enjoy working with clients who are struggling to live their best lives by putting their trauma behind and ready to prioritize their needs.

I wish I could fit everything I want to say about Ms. Sharon in this review. Words can't express how fast I felt comfortable and willing to open up about things I never have before...and this is only my second session. I'm truly grateful and happy that I chose her. I am looking forward to implementing the things we have talked about and I feel hopeful that my growth/overall well being is within reach.

Sharon was warm and welcoming, but stern and thorough. Listened carefully to my past and present struggles, identified my weaknesses and gave solutions on how we can work together to improve my overall outlook. I am extremely grateful to have met her even briefly, and look forward to our future sessions!
