To others, you seem to have it all together, but the pain of your past and future colliding keeps you up at night. Past injuries have a continual hold on you and influence your most important relationships. Acting in line with your heart does not seem possible when you're caught in these patterns. You are stuck, but things can change. Loving yourself and appreciating each moment is an attainable goal, and one that I can help you reach. Through our conversations, you will gain a better understanding of yourself and your beginnings and start to feel more peace within your life and relationships.

I’m here to help you feel less overwhelmed, stuck, hopeless or helpless. To help you quiet your brain/body, organize your thoughts, and figure out not just where all this stuff comes from, but what you can do about it. Sometimes I help people find answers inside themselves they already knew, sometimes I help people get outside of themselves and use insights from our fellow humans, from nature, science, spirituality, philosophy, you name it. I’m a straight talker, AND I don’t judge— literally, I can teach you how to use a nonjudgmental stance— and possibly most importantly, I bring some FUN to this process!

I enjoy working with children and adolescents of any age. Listening to children and teenagers is so important as they often can tell us what we need to know to support them. I use both talking and play to facilitate connection and communication. Interpersonal experiences affect our relationships and the way in which we interact with others. I have a strong background in family systems, school collaboration and developmental and attachment theory which is instrumental in my work with clients. I also work with families to facilitate communication when there is a disruption in the family system due to divorce or adoption.

Working in the addiction arena directly and indirectly for over 25 years at different capacities has been both rewarding and challenging. My experience began with the exposure to addiction at its core by doing outreach work on the streets and encouraging persons with an alcohol or drug problem to go to treatment in addition to harm reduction and testing for HIV/AIDS. This contributed to enhance my knowledge and as a result to better serve my clients. To date, I continue working in this area of mental health.

Hi there, my name is Sharin. First off, I’d like to say I am glad you are here. Deciding to explore options for talking with a counselor can be a big step. If you feel like where you are at right now is not where you would like to be, or maybe there are just so many feelings happening all at once, I can support you in finding a pathway to achieving your goals. Sometimes it is hard to even know what your goals are and I can help you to figure out what it is that you would like to accomplish.

My ideal client is a teen dealing with addiction, newly diagnosed mental health issues, and behavioral problems at home and school. Their parents are struggling with the challenges of raising a child with these complex needs. The family seeks emotional support, practical strategies, and a safe space for open communication. Their goals are to achieve emotional stability, improve the teen’s behavior and mental health, and strengthen family relationships. They want to build effective coping mechanisms and create a healthier home environment to enhance their overall quality of life.

PEACE. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."
This has been a goal in my life, and one I have enjoyed sharing with my clients. These days, most of my clients seek counseling because they are having trouble sleeping, are overindulging in food or alcohol, are feeling angry and irritable, or sad and low on energy, much of the time.

Have you always been an anxious person but lately it’s getting kind of out of hand? You were able to manage it before but now it’s taking over every thought? Are you unable to do things you used to do with ease, such as fly, drive, leave the house, go to the store?

Do you find that you are always fighting fires, leaving no fuel left for yourself? Are you confident in other areas but find that your relationships always seem to leave you feeling bad about yourself?

I love working with couples who want to work on communication, creating better understanding, managing conflict, developing a more deeper relationship, and infidelity/affair recovery.

I provide therapy using empirically supported treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I believe emotional pain must be allowed and accepted in order to be fully felt and heard. I believe that often times, people seek therapy when their pattern of responding to pain has become overwhelming and they are unable to consistently find meaning in their lives. I work to help others accept their current experiences and emotions in order to choose to respond in a way that is no longer dictated by past narratives and/or automatic reactions.

Tired of trying to fit in a box? I'll help you overcome what is keeping you from being your fabulous self so you can get on with making the most of your life. I work with people who feel anxious or stuck with unpleasant feelings and beliefs about themselves. Because how we are raised creates patterns that we carry into our adult decisions, my focus is on the roots of a person's history. When we understand our past - what made us who we are - we gain the personal power to make the best of our present and future.

I specialize in depth-oriented and existential work with clients struggling to reignite a sense of meaning in their life. Common issues I work with include chronic depression, trauma recovery, addiction, and living with ADHD or autism. I also love working with young people (teens and young adults) who are struggling to launch into confident adulthood. Many people come to me feeling hollow and disconnected, but there is hope in seeking help. Together we can deconstruct the patterns and cycles that keep you stuck and distant from living your life well. I know how to guide you through and keep you accountable to the process of growth.
