About me

Hello! I have always enjoyed helping others for as long as I can remember as early as age 9. I love to see their responses in the learning process. I have experienced trauma, witnessed violence, anxiety, have been in an unhealthy alcoholic relationship and have been a sensitive being my entire life not understanding why. My saving Grace has always been movement. I loved the way it made me feel-free and calm, and movement has always been part of my life even during 4 pregnancies and keeping up with my 4 children, and now my grandchildren. Over time, I was introduced to mindfulness, stress reduction and relaxation (which I didn’t realized how much I needed) and Yoga. This allowed me to calm my mind and focus. My career goal was Physical Education teaching and when I graduated (after have 4 children), teacher jobs were scarce. I was introduced to Behavioral Health and here I am now, 25 years later.

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In your first session, I will get to now you better with completing a Biopsychosocial history of you to determine where you have been, what you have done and where you want to go.

With 25 years of experience in the Mental Health field, a lifetime of experience and a positive mindset, I am open and understanding with seeing a multitude of clients with a variety of different backgrounds.

I help children and families with diagnosed Mental Health conditions with open minds and willingness to try something new to improve behaviors and overall well being to live a happy meaningful life. My employment and compassionate approach, along with being sensitive and understanding is helpful with setting and attaining your goals. I’ve learned that a little work, an open mind and willingness to try something different can save you. It may feel different, but keep practicing and it will change your life.

Sharon is amazing ! She has helped me overcome the lowest of lows with her ability to problem-solve, listen with an open heart, and provide advice, feedback, next steps, and strategies to help. She truly cares. She validates. She is patient, understanding, and so professional. I’m so glad that I found Sharon after a handful of unsuccessful efforts to find a right fit in her warm and comforting presence. I always feel joyful, rejuvenated, and excited for my day after our sessions.

Sharon is a good, neutral listener and I think she is a good fit for our co-parenting counseling. She offered some helpful solutions for us to work on with our son.
