I specialize in working with clients with eating disorder, trauma, and addiction. I have a particular interest for working with marginalized voices, especially within the LGBTQ+ community. One passion is helping those impacted by power-based personal violence and assisting them in reclaiming their voice.

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.

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.
