Late Afternoon, Evening and Weekend morning for In person and Telehealth (Virtual) sessions. Hello! My approach is to provide a non-judgmental and caring place to allow you a positive counseling experience. Many people who I treat seek counseling for the first time -- to work through a crisis--to stop the pain--to feel better about themselves. I understand the struggle and the desire to feel and be better. If you are willing to share your story and engage in the process, I look forward to working with you. I have 20 years of experience working with adolescents, college-age students, student athletes and adults in crisis.

Whatever your issues - stress, anxiety relating to the COVID-19 crisis, depression, or relationship problems, I'm here to help. In addition to being a certified expert in sex therapy, I am a highly experienced clinical psychologist with decades of experience with thousands of clients. I offer cognitive-behavioral therapy, IFS, and an integrated approach for you or your partner. Most individuals are a bit stressed seeing a therapist. I can assure you that your comfort and safety is my primary focus. There is no "one size fits all approach". There is no shaming or blaming in my office. We are a team and we work together.

Life is full of chaos and uncertainty right now. It may have brought you stress, anxiety, worries, sadness or grief. You may have had to deal with many life changes, some that you want and some that you don't. It makes sense to feel off, overwhelmed, and like you lost your footing. Wouldn't it be great to take a moment to breathe, regroup and learn how to adapt to life’s challenges? Clients come to me to feel seen, heard and sort through what is happening for them. They have overcome challenges in life and now want to find peace and healing. They want to be confident, calm, and true to themselves.

I believe that we all have great potential and with help, we can achieve our personal goals. The therapeutic process is to help you to become your best self. I love to join with my clients in this process.

For the past 30 years, my personal quest has been to find the most transformative tools, skills and techniques to create a healthy, joyful and abundant life. Understanding is power. Once you grasp that your personal beliefs create your emotions, and that those emotions cause your behaviors, you’re then in a position to transform your life. Similar to updating a computer's old operating system to gain maximum function, we need to update our old ways of thinking as well. Outdated and negative beliefs can be reframed and replaced with healthy and positive ones.

Life's struggles can come in so many forms - depression, anxiety, grief, mania, frustration, and anger - to name a few. We all need support to help understand, make sense of what has happened, be able to move forward, and to grow. Therapy with me is a collaborative approach where we seek to understand your full experience, to shine a gentle and understanding light on the most difficult aspects of what it means to be you.

Our therapists provide a holistic approach to treatment and ensure that you feel supported and empowered throughout all aspects of life.

We all go through challenging times when we could use some support. Therapy is a time to connect with your priorities and your overall wellbeing. It's a collaborative process between client and therapist. You are the expert in your lived experience and integral to your healing. A therapist can provide insight, skill building and support to help guide you towards realizing your path forward.

Do you find that you are being towed along in life instead of being the driver? Feeling tired of not being in control of the direction for which your life takes? Not sure of what or how it should be different but you know the way you are living now is NOT IT?! Shari can help guide you along your inner journey to finding a new direction in your life that speaks to your inner truth of what path is right for you. Together, you will work on this journey in a safe and supportive environment through integrating counseling with healing energy in releasing any blockages or challenges that interfere with living your joyful life.

Why is it that only 41% of people with mental health needs have sought out services within the past year? Perhaps there was a lack of connection between the client and the therapist. I hope to be that warm connection to a therapist that you have been seeking. Welcome! Congratulations on taking that first step towards personal growth and transformation - let's take the next part of your journey together. I can help you tackle those issues that have been keeping you stuck, to help you to move toward clarity, just by helping you discover the internal resources that you already possess.

Currently NOT accepting new patients. I'm a clinical psychologist with 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families and adults. My approach to therapy is centered on building a trusting, friendly, open and accepting environment where individuals and families feel safe to collaboratively work to create positive change in their lives.

Our lives are composed of many pieces, stages of growth and change. And life happens! How do we gather these experiences and make sense of them among stresses and challenges, confusing times and changing perspectives? By working with you in a supportive and collaborative environment, I will help you to discover meanings and solutions and then help you to integrate these elements into a satisfying whole. We create many identities along the path to wellness and wholeness; I welcome the opportunity to work alongside you.

Above all, therapy is a relationship. I work collaboratively with my clients to develop a safe, trusting, and attuned relationship that we can use to explore problematic patterns of relating, work through emotional tensions and conflicts, and better understand themselves. Through the therapeutic relationship, we can begin to unravel those patterns that keep people wondering, "why does this keep happening?", fully experience emotions, develop a greater sense of self-awareness and vitality, and understand how the past impacts and influences the present. Please see my website for more information.

Given all that has happened in the past few years, life can feel overwhelming and/or out of control. Psychotherapy can provide you a place to heal, turn your life around, feel more empowered, and to begin to have the life you want. Even the most independent adults need help once in awhile. I will work to help you feel safe and supported. We'll go at a pace that feels comfortable, while selecting the best tools for you. Our work can help you begin to feel calm, relieved, hopeful, and encouraged.

My approach to psychotherapy is focused on increasing self-understanding and changing longstanding patterns in thinking, feeling or relating to others that are no longer working. I view psychotherapy as an open-ended, collaborative relationship aimed at helping individuals look inward to find new solutions, develop healthier patterns and achieve emotional balance. My treatment philosophy is based in the Bio-psycho-social Model, in which a person's problems are understood in the context of their unique biological, psychological, social and environmental influences, and therapeutic approaches and interventions are chosen accordingly.
