Hello, I'm Sharon, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas, with over ten years of experience. I hold both Master’s and Doctoral degrees from the University of Texas. I understand that everyone's journey is unique, and I am committed to working collaboratively with you to develop personalized strategies that effectively address your specific needs and challenges. As your therapist, I see my role as providing a gentle boost to help you move in the right direction. Whether you're seeking to enhance your coping skills or address stressors impacting your mental health, I am here to provide support and guidance. Together, we can create a path forward that not only meets your goals but also enriches your life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll begin with some brief introductions. Then, we'll dive into discussing the specific challenges you're facing. Understanding these details will help me develop a tailored plan that addresses your unique needs, which we will explore and adjust throughout our follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
With over 10 years of experience, I've developed a reliable approach to help you identify challenges and their root causes, and create a tailored plan for measurable progress. Let's navigate your journey together.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a structured form of therapy that helps you recognize and change harmful thought patterns that negatively impact your emotions and behavior. We will work together to understand your feelings, identify "sticky" thoughts, reshape these thoughts, learn new behaviors, and practice these skills regularly. CBT equips you with effective tools to manage and overcome difficult thoughts and emotions, enhancing your resilience.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
This therapy respects and incorporates your unique cultural background into our sessions. Together, we will explore how your cultural experiences influence your life and identity, ensuring that therapy respects and includes these perspectives. We will work collaboratively to address any cultural issues, empower you through your cultural strengths, and ensure that therapy is a place of growth and understanding.
Couples Counseling
In couples counseling, you and your partner will attend sessions together to improve communication, understand relationship patterns, address specific issues, and enhance intimacy. We focus on developing conflict resolution skills and identifying the strengths in your relationship to build a more supportive and fulfilling partnership.
Motivational Interviewing
MI is especially useful if you're feeling ambivalent about change. This approach fosters a collaborative partnership where we explore your mixed feelings about change, promote self-motivated statements, and build confidence in your ability to change. MI helps you develop a personal action plan and respects your autonomy in making decisions, tapping into your intrinsic motivation for enduring change.
Child Parent Psychotherapy
CPP is designed to improve the relationship between a child and their parent or caregiver, particularly after traumatic experiences. We focus on enhancing attachment, providing emotional support, and strengthening parenting skills to foster a secure, nurturing environment. The therapy is sensitive to your cultural background and tailored to meet the developmental needs of your child.
