I believe that you are the expert of your life! My job is to be curious and to help you gain more understanding of yourself. A good therapist doesn't claim to have all the answers for why you are the way you are although I may have some ideas that I will share. When it comes to getting answers & more understanding, we will form hypotheses together and you will come to your own conclusions. I facilitate and guide that process! I'm here to share my knowledge to help you make decisions that are authentic, rational, and well-explored.

Counseling is something everyone can benefit from; the key is finding the counselor that is the right fit for your needs.

Maybe you feel disconnected relationally or disillusioned in your spiritual life. At those times, it can be comforting to have someone to help us manage the anxiety, make sense of the challenges, or find a renewed sense of purpose and hope.

Sharon R Peterson, LCSW, CEDS: Making the decision to begin therapy is not an easy one. But, it can be one of the best decisions you can make to empower yourself & move beyond unresolved issues or to help find the right path to take to improve your life or to recover. Psychotherapy is a collaborative approach between a therapist and client.

Which, in turn, will help you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.

It is our belief that the decisions we make and the behaviors we exhibit are directly related to what we know as our reality. Knowing and understanding that fact leads us to approach every situation with the mindset that you, as the client, have the ability and power to make positive changes in your life. We know that placing blame, not taking responsibility, and not living up to your potential, only allows others to be in control of your life, leaving you without a voice. It is our philosophy that NOT BEING PRESENT FOR YOU can lead to BOWING DOWN TO OTHERS.

Difficulty can present an opportunity for growth and finding new strengths. I provide a nurturing environment in which to move from a feeling of disconnection to a place of trust and inner wisdom.
