Hi, my name is Sharon and I am a licensed independent social worker. I graduated with my Master’s degree from the University of Cincinnati and I have 21 years of professional experience. I help people learn new coping skills to manage stress and changes in their lives. I utilize a strengths based approach to empower clients to live authentic, meaningful and joy-filled lives. I help clients find meaning and purpose while challenging negative thought patterns and responses.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we will briefly introduce ourselves and then dive into the challenges that you are facing so that we can create a tailored approach and plan to help you achieve your goals.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a strengths-based therapist, I excel at empowering my clients to challenge old patterns of thought and behavior while setting goals to improve their lives.
