About Sharon

Background and approach

Many clients come for help with parenting stress, family problems, or the emotional fallout of separation and divorce. She also supports people dealing with addiction, anger, trauma and abuse, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD-related challenges. Sharon pays attention to how social and cultural forces shape feelings and choices.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She uses solution-focused techniques when people want short-term plans to address a specific problem. Sessions tend to be practical, collaborative, and paced to each person’s needs.

Sharon speaks English and works with adults who want a therapist who listens first and offers clear, doable strategies. Her practice is informed by an affirming stance toward LGBT people and attention to sexual diversity topics such as kink and alternative sex culture. If someone wants straightforward support for anxiety or life transitions, she helps map a path forward.

Approaches and online options that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change or keep. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into clear patterns of thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and pace. That might mean trying mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, using CBT exercises between meetings, or focusing on solution-oriented steps when a specific problem needs a quick plan.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have a session that most resembles in-person work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work through life changes.
