Hi there! My name is Shara and I am a licensed Clinical Psychotherapist with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and fellow Veterans in overcoming trauma-related difficulties utilizing an integrated psychotherapeutic approach. I received a bachelors degree in Psychology from Columbia College and completed a masters degree from Northwestern University in Clinical Psychotherapy. I specialize in Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Neuro-Affirming Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, and EMDR (EMDRIA-Trained) with a Person-Centered application.
Clients and I co-create individualized treatment plans, focusing on goal setting while integrating supplemental therapies to fit a client’s specific needs. I labor at assisting a client transmute any distorted beliefs, address self-destructive behaviors, teach emotional regulation skills, distress tolerance skills, build self-esteem through self-acceptance.
I believe true healing begins with self-reflection through introspection, self-validation, practicing self-love through self-care, and radical acceptance of the whole of you and your story!
