Hi, thanks for stopping by!
The founding principles I have based my professional practice on are: empathy, respect, non-judgement and self-awareness. Very well acquainted personally and professionally with Anxiety, I have developed a specialty in this area. My approach to Anxiety and Mental Health in general, is one of "working with" rather than "fighting against". I have found it effective to start therapy by focusing on where the client is at on any given moment, and together working our way to where the client wants to be. My therapy style is Solution-focused, with emphasis on Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, also informed by Systems Theory, Humanistic and Psychodynamic concepts. I have always been fascinated with the study of the human mind, especially the unconscious, and the impact personal perspective has on the circumstances we experience.

We need to have someone listen to us and appreciate the very real pain we feel! We need to unburden ourselves and re-create hope.

EMDR and EMI (Eye Movement Integration) address trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and a lot of other problems that keep us stuck. I am certified in EMDR.

I combine Brainspotting, practical tools, and direct conversation to help you manage today’s struggles while healing the past. My focus areas include anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, and domestic violence. I also work with therapists, first responders, and others carrying the weight of the world.
My style is direct, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that healing is messy but possible. Together, we’ll create a space to explore your emotions, uncover patterns, and build strategies that work for you. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress and reclaiming your life on your terms.

Welcome! I'm LaVon
You've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to trauma, anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients improve on living in the present rather than the past. I will help ou deveop boundaries those around you and help improve your quality of life.
Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

If you’ve found your way to this page, it’s likely because something in your life feels out of balance, and you’re seeking support. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or life transitions, I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.
I’m here to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself and explore your thoughts and feelings. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy and understanding. I believe that everyone has the capacity for change and growth, and together, we can work toward unlocking your inner strength and resilience.
In our sessions, we will work collaboratively, focusing on your unique needs and experiences. I draw from various therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic therapy, to create a tailored approach that resonates with you. My goal is to help you not only understand the root causes of your challenges but also develop practical tools to move forward with confidence.
Healing isn’t linear, but with support, it is absolutely possible. If you’re ready to start making meaningful changes, I’d be honored to guide you along this path. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, uncover your strengths, and work toward the life you want to create.

Hi there, I'm Sharon, and I'm passionate about helping individuals rediscover their inner child and embark on a journey of healing the wounds from their past. As a compassionate and creative soul, I offer a unique approach to processing and addressing emotions.
Through my work, I aim to provide a safe and nurturing space for you to explore your feelings, particularly those affected by addiction and co-dependency. I firmly believe that art, not in the traditional sense but as a personal expression of one's emotions, holds the key to authenticity and self-discovery. My focus is on the process rather than performance, making it a soulful and liberating experience I call "soul art."
As part of my commitment to excellence, I am currently pursuing my certification in Creative Journaling Expressive Arts with the CJEAItm. This additional training allows me to integrate journaling and expressive art techniques into our sessions, offering you a dynamic and creative approach to healing and personal growth.
If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey, exploring your emotions through the creative lens, I'm here to support and guide you every step of the way. Let's work together to nurture your inner child and empower you to lead a more fulfilling life.
