My main focus has been working with queer individuals and honoring non-heteronormativity. My goal is to create a space that encourages people to be more of themselves. I believe that, often, our struggles stem from a system that tells us it's not okay to be authentic. As a result, there's pressure to fit into a box that doesn't reflect who we truly are. We often find ourselves overworked and emotionally exhausted by the demands of a fast-paced, high-stress lifestyle, which can worsen feelings of anxiety and depression. By acknowledging these challenges, we can create a space where you feel empowered to reclaim joy!

My approach is warm, inviting, direct and attuned. I meet my clients with interest, non-judgment, and respect. I believe that change flows easiest from self-acceptance, and that self-acceptance is nurtured through the telling, the listening, and the embodied expressions of our lives. I am driven by a profound sense that individual and community care are interwoven, and that healing is a process of mourning and meaning-making.

Sharon has current openings in the office and through telehealth (if you reside in California). Is your teen struggling socially, emotionally, behaviorally, or with difficult thoughts? As a parent, are you overwhelmed by all of the demands of being a parent? Does your youth have a difficult time making friends or communicating with others? Is your child highly sensitive? Some teens have a difficult time managing their emotions and it may result in isolation, difficulty concentrating and/or other behaviors. I can help by providing support and guidance to help them to reach their goals.

I treat psychological difficulties with a compassionate, yet results-oriented approach. When someone suffers from a medical disorder, a comprehensive assessment of the problem is required in order to obtain an accurate diagnosis. If the diagnosis is incorrect, treatment will repeatedly fail. As a diagnostician, my focus is to treat people, many of whom had been non-responsive to previous psychological / medical treatment, in this same way. Only with a correct diagnosis will treatment be effective. Once determined, goals discussed, a treatment plan in place, the therapy begins. With time and work, individuals grow to experience enhanced emotional health along with interpersonal and professional contentment.
