Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 6 years of experience. I specialize in working with children and adolescents (4-17 years old) and adults who present with concerns such as inattention, depression, anxiety, behavior problems, parenting challenges, interpersonal relationships, emotional dysregulation, trauma, and anger management. Before private practice, I provided services as an APEX school-based therapist, in addition to delivering evidence-based therapeutic interventions to individuals with chronic mental health conditions in community-based settings. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health from Mercer University.

My approach to therapy is rooted in authenticity and my goal is to assist each client to ensure they can achieve success, in their mental health recovery.

I didn't always know I wanted to be a therapist. Growing up in a household where mental health issues were present allowed me to see firsthand it's effect on individuals. After undergraduate school, I landed my first job in a psychiatric hospital. That's when things clicked for me, and I knew that I wanted to help people become their best selves. I had a natural curiosity to understand the world, how people think, and what drives human behavior. I also believe in the power of connectedness. All these things came together and pushed me to pursue my graduate degree in counseling. My experiences early on taught me that no one is perfect, we all struggle, and we all deserve grace. I am here to tell you that your story doesn't have to end where it is now. I aim to show that we are all resilient and have the ability to overcome challenges.

She has a wide range of career experience that allows her to adapt to the varied needs of her clients.

Many of my clients have experienced difficult or painful life events and are seeking a space where they can feel understood, supported, and free from judgment. My approach is thoughtful, grounded, and tailored to each individual. I will meet you where you are, at a pace that feels manageable. Together, we will work to make sense of your experiences, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical ways to help you feel more stable, more in control, and more like yourself again. I bring both professional training and real-life perspective to my work, allowing me to connect with clients in a genuine and down-to-earth way. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes—it’s about meaningful, lasting change and having someone alongside you who understands how difficult things can feel. Reaching out for therapy is a big step, and I aim to make the process as supportive and straightforward as possible from the beginning. An initial conversation can help determine whether working together feels like the right fit, provide a sense of what the process might look like, and address any questions you may have. I would welcome the opportunity to connect.

Hello, I am Shari. Are you looking for someone you can feel safe to address your needs and not feel judged? Are you looking for someone authentic and supportive? Are you having difficulty finding someone who will be honest and direct? I work well with anyone who is motivated to start addressing their concerns right away. I believe finding the right therapist can be challenging, but it should not be a barrier to getting help. Finding a therapist should feel comfortable and natural. I am told I have a way of helping people feel as if they have known me before. I like to get an understanding of the source of your problem. Then together we explore how the source influences your thinking. People live life through their experiences which do not always serve us very well in today's time. I also believe in working from a holistic approach. Did you know our daily routines can prolong your recovery or cause mental instability? I have experienced being in a therapeutic relationship and believe in normalizing the need to get help in this way.

Within my career path, it has equipped me with an understanding of the vitalness of genuineness and creating a "safe place."

Feeling exhausted from carrying the weight of parenting, family responsibilities, and your own emotional needs? You're not alone. I specialize in supporting burnt-out moms, children, and teens through trauma-informed therapy that helps families reduce stress, improve communication, heal from difficult experiences, and reconnect with their strengths. I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping people heal from difficult experiences, build resilience, and feel more connected to themselves and others. Having navigated my own journey of healing and personal transformation, I feel deeply honored to walk alongside others as they discover their own strength.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you don't have to face it alone. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or a major life transition, I'm here to help you move forward one step at a time. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience supporting adolescents and families and several years of clinical counseling experience, I've had the privilege of helping people through many different seasons of life. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing, so we'll work together to identify your strengths, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful goals that fit your life. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself, gain new insight, and build the confidence to create lasting change. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels comfortable while focusing on the goals that matter most to you.

Frequently asked questions

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Georgia. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Georgia from Athens to Savannah! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Georgia.

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Child or Adolescent, is filtering therapists in Georgia that work with patients with similar concerns.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
