I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to any issue, and use various methods such as EMDR, DBT, ACT, and solution focused, depending on your needs.
I offer an open-minded, trusting relationship where the client can explore their lives without judgement and overcome challenges they are facing, or traumas they have not been able to make amends with. Our office also offers free services to first responders and their family members (EMS, Fire, and Police of Pinellas). I love working with couples!

I have pursued training in many areas such as addiction, neurobiology and anxiety, attachment, complex trauma, OCD, and EMDR.
I'm passionate about walking alongside people who have a sense that, "Maybe, just maybe, it doesn't have to always be this way." Perhaps you're feeling stuck in the same relational dynamics, holding beliefs and ideas about yourself, others, and the world that no longer seem helpful, or wanting to figure out what it might look like to be a more healthy, whole, and honest person. Many of us often have a desire for life to look different, but we might not be sure how to get there. I view therapy as a process that can help us discover more about where we've been, who we are becoming, and how we want to live.

I use a mix of therapy techniques, like CBT, EMDR, ACT, and Mindfulness, but I also explore your unique biochemistry to help your body support your mind and mood.
Are you a woman struggling with high anxiety or depression? Is your gut in a knot and hormones out of whack? I understand. I'm Sharla, a therapist and a nutritionist, and I've dedicated my life to helping women understand how their body affects their mental health. Your story matters to me. We'll spend time together understanding your pain and struggles from head to toe so you can learn new ways to care for yourself and find answers. I'm here for you. I work from the belief that positive outcomes are always possible. Together, we'll reframe old messages and discard habits that no longer serve you, while healing from the inside out.

Using EMDR and somatic work, we go straight to the root of the trauma—whether that’s sexual abuse, a mass casualty event, your own parent being your first bully, or the heaviness of working as a helping professional.
You’re moving through life waiting for the floor to drop out. On the outside, you’re the responsible one, the cycle-breaker, the professional who handles it all. But inside? You’re vibrating with anxiety or totally numb. You’ve intellectualized your trauma—you know why you are this way—but your body didn't get the damn memo. You want to stop feeling like a prisoner to your own history. You want to wake up without the dread and stop the 2 a.m. mental replay reel. You don't just want to survive the week; you want to live without waiting for everything to go to shit.

Up front, I'm not the therapist for everyone. I don't have a flowery sales pitch about self-fulfillment and safe spaces, I'll probably be wearing an old t-shirt and jeans, I encourage expressive profanity, and I have more tattoos than your average therapist. Most of my caseload is trauma and PTSD. Much of the trauma work involves complex trauma with co-occurring dissociation, personality disorders, substance abuse, and anger. My work with trauma clients includes adult and adolescent survivors of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, both active duty and retired military personnel, and first responders.
