Hi there, I'm Sharon!
Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? Do you feel that others (or other things) run your life?
I work with Individuals, couples, and families to help unblock the path to being happy or joyful again. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I welcome you to share whatever is in your thoughts, heart, and soul that keeps you from the life you wish.
Whether you're dealing with feeling overwhelmed, trauma, grief, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and caring to help change the habits holding you back. Let's work together!

Hi, I am Yajie.
Ever feel like life's a bit of a juggling act, pulling you in all sorts of directions? It happens. Work, relationships, and taking care of yourself can be a lot to handle. If you're finding it tough to be kind to yourself, I get it.
In our talks, I want to help you sort through things. I use a mix of ideas from different types of therapy. We'll chat about the big questions in life—what gives it meaning, how free we are to make choices, and what responsibilities we have. This helps us give more purpose and depth to what you're going through. We'll also look at how your thoughts can affect your feelings and actions, and figure out ways to make those thoughts work better for you. And we'll use mindfulness to help you accept what's out of your control while sticking to the things that really matter to you.
Whether you're dealing with big emotions, tangled relationships, or just feeling unsure, taking this step to talk it out is a brave move. In our chats, I'm here with easy-to-understand ideas and practical ways to help you grow and find your way. Let's take this journey together

Willis, TX - Accepting clients in TX
I am a second career social worker, who graduated with my MSW in 2014 and my Ph.D. in 2019, both from the University of Houston’s Graduate College of Social Work. I am originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, but have lived in the Houston area for 30+ years. I decided to become a social worker because of my personal experiences raising a child with behavioral health issues and experiencing profound loss following the sudden death of my husband. My goals were to help others the way my own family had been helped, but I also hoped to improve the experiences of others with similar lived experiences but less positive outcomes. I have worked in a variety of settings, including West Oaks Hospital (a specialty psychiatric hospital) and its affiliated outpatient settings, where I provided individual, group, and family therapy to adults and adolescents experiencing significant mental health crises. I have also worked in home hospice care, assisting individuals and families with both pre-bereavement and post-bereavement support, and where I facilitated online support groups for caregivers and for individuals experiencing grief and bereavement. In addition to my private practice, I am an adjunct professor at the University of Houston’s Graduate College of Social Work, and I frequently consult with immigration lawyers about the ways in which mental health issues may impact the path to asylum or citizenship. I practice with a trauma-informed style and am always conscious of the ways in which trauma impacts the lives and experiences of individuals in all walks of life. I have experience working with people who live with ADHD, anxiety, autism, depression, and mood disorders generally. My goal is always to support my clients in achieving their own goals for a happier and healthier life.

Welcome! I'm an LCSW-BACS and Louisiana native who practices in both, Texas & Louisiana. I’ve worked with a variety of clinical presentations, in various clinical settings. I have experience working with children, youth, adults, veterans and families. The settings in which I’ve practiced include intense inpatient, clinic, substance use disorder treatment, mental health rehabilitation, correctional rehabilitation facility and school settings. I'm EMDR trained and a recently Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I collaboratively assist clients with improving their self-esteem and self-worth, processing trauma, managing depression and anxiety, challenging negative thought processes, emotion dysregulation, and processing symptoms of grief and mood disorders. This is a collaborative therapeutic process that allows fostering healthy intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships, resolving symptoms of grief and trauma, modifying negative internal narratives, managing anxiety and depression, decreasing emotion dysregulation and dissociating, and fostering one's sense of self.
I've worked with adults, families and adolescents who experienced anxiety, depression, family transitions, trauma wounds, anxiety, low self-esteem, PTSD, LGTBQIA transitions, substance use, bipolar mood disorders, personality disorders and several other life challenges etc.
I have been so honored to be present throughout my client's journeys of growth, if only to help unburden them from internal suffering. I strive to be both non-judgmental, and collaborative, while challenging those that fear based responses to the environment.

Personally, I am a mom of 3 small children who is married to a firefighter and trying to balance work, family, and personal life. I understand that life can feel like a lot at times and relate to other people who are doing the best they can! Professionally, I have always worked in education and mental health.

In my time as a mental health therapist, I have really enjoyed working with a diverse population. I have experience working with all ages from young children to older adults, focusing on meeting each person where they are. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and other life circumstances that people are dealing with. My main focus in sessions is to help clients feel heard and seen, creating a safe environment along the way.
I am very person-centered in my approach to therapy. I believe that the client is the expert in his or her life, and I am lucky enough to get to join in on their journey for a while. I also utilize cognitive-behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, and other interventions to help clients achieve their goals. In addition, I am also trained in EMDR therapy and really enjoy incorporating that into sessions when appropriate.

San Antonio, TX - Accepting clients in TX
First and foremost, I am a Christian. While my faith in God is very strong, I work within the parameters established by my clients. If they do not believe, and do not request faith-based services, this will never come up in our work together, but I hope to treat you with all the compassion that Jesus would. That was the greatest compliment I ever had from a Lesbian client, that for the first time in her life, she felt treated as Jesus would have treated her.
I am a trauma survivor myself. I know the difficult road back from childhood and adult traumatic events first-hand, not just from the textbooks. I dedicated my life and 35-year career running a nonprofit serving survivors of trauma--child abuse victims, veterans, domestic violence, sexual trauma, surviving family members of homicide victims, and terroristic attacks. It is unconscionable what human beings will do to one another, and it can perpetuate for generations if you neglect your own recovery.
I am also a mediator and have had the honor of reconciling many marriages--some who even came to me for divorce and custody originally, wanting to save their marriage but not knowing what else to try. I've seen healing in many generational disputes, and in interventions with families trying to get an addicted or severely mentally ill member to treatment. I do Workplace Mediation and Eldercare and Guardianship Mediation as well. Have differences in parenting? Parenting and Discipline Planning are accomplished expeditiously in mediation. Want the perfect wedding gift? Give them Pre-marital or Re-marital Mediation so they can discuss and agree on life choices together before they get married and start arguing endlessly about them.

I view therapy as a sacred journey in which you and I will work collaboratively to identify what goals you want to achieve through the therapy process.

Hello! Reaching out to begin this process can be a daunting task. So, I’m glad you’re here. Most enter into therapy feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, and/or not good enough. It is painful and frustrating to not feel in control of your emotions. Negative thoughts make it hard to feel good about yourself, your relationships, and your outlook on life. Imagine what you would be doing instead if you could truly heal and manage your emotions more effectively. We will work together to rewrite the narratives read by your internal voice and reframe your thinking. Together, we will develop tools and resources that are needed to strengthen your mindset daily, allowing you to increase overall confidence and trust in yourself.

Having worked in the educational field for many years, I chose to go into to counseling in order to help others who are in need of understanding, support and encouragement. Allowing someone to express their thoughts, feeling and helping them see or understand what may be holding them back or creating issues in their life is rewarding. My aim is help others learning how to manage and go forward with all they have experienced and encountered.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist I have particular experience and training in understanding individuals in the context of their relationships, families, and social identities. Sometimes our distress isn't just about what we're doing or not doing. Oftentimes, it's about how we move through the world in our social identities and how the world perceives and interacts with us so I want you to be able to talk about that in therapy.
I can relate and find it meaningful to work with individuals suffering from anxiety. Anxiety can be crippling and paralyzing, causing us to overthink which can get in the way of so many things in life from accomplishing goals, trying new things, socializing, sleeping or even smaller things that add up until you're overwhelmed with them, like answering the phone or checking your mail.
If you're feeling misunderstood, like you can't be yourself, anxious, worried, or trapped in repeating patterns that are causing you pain, I will join you where you are and we can work together to help you create a secure sense of self, and restore and improve relationships.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I'm here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. As a therapist, I see my role as a collaborative facilitator of change. I believe that people are relational beings with physical, spiritual, emotional, and social components. The exploration and integration of these aspects can be life changing and enhancing. In addition, I seek to connect all facets of a person's world (the family they grew up in, their gender, faith, culture, education, age, etc.)

Let ME help YOU unpack... your emotional baggage and lighten your load. As Erykah Badu sings in her powerful song, "Bag Lady," it's time to let go of all those heavy bags you've been carrying and start fresh. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, non-judgment, and collaboration. I believe that everyone can heal and grow, and my role as a therapist is to provide a safe and supportive environment to facilitate that process.
I am a compassionate, culturally responsive therapist who specializes in supporting adolescent girls through some of the most transformative and tender years of their lives. I create a safe, affirming space where girls can explore who they are, unpack what they’ve been through, and grow into who they’re becoming.
I understand that seeking therapy can be a vulnerable and courageous step, and I commend you for taking that first step. So, let's put those bags down and start the journey towards healing and growth.
