Background and approach

Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and set small, doable goals. Sharon adapts her style to what the person finds most helpful in the moment. Her background includes a Master of Arts in Psychology from Houston Christian University, a Master of Business Administration from Rice University, and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Southern California.

She holds the LPC and LPCC credentials and also works as a certified life coach. In sessions Sharon uses relationship-focused approaches such as attachment work, emotion-focused methods, and cognitive strategies. She also draws from client-centered and Gottman-informed ideas when relevant.

The goal is to heal hurts, strengthen connections, and build resilience for future challenges. Sharon has led groups on grief and career transitions in addition to individual and couples work. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can explore values, repair relationships, and move forward with clearer purpose.

How Sharon's Methods Work Online

Sharon uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can help people understand patterns that fuel anxiety or repeated conflict and create different ways of relating.

She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which helps people name and process strong emotions in the moment and repair bonds with important others. That method is often useful for relationship strain and for people who feel overwhelmed by intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences, and then shape sessions around what seems most helpful. The process is collaborative and may combine approaches over time to match changing needs.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues in real time, phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and stay consistent while managing other life demands.
