My outlook on life is that we are all on a journey. Some people move faster than others. Some need a helping hand along the way; but we can all arrive to where we are going, where we want to be…every single one of us. I am here to help motivate when you lack motivation. I am here to listen when you feel unheard. I am here to push when you feel weak, or pull when you don’t feel strong enough. I’m also here to sit with you when you aren’t ready or feel unable to make a decision. I am here at your pace.

Everyone's journey is unique. Wherever you find yourself - healing trauma, overcoming limiting beliefs, building new coping skills, or discovering who you are, your mind-body-spirit connection is key to your success. This connection reflects the natural state of influence between our thoughts and feelings, our physical body, and spirituality. The greater degree of balance between them, the greater wellness you can achieve. No matter how easy or challenging your life has been, we all want to continue pursuing our best state of being. Work with me to create greater balance in your life and overcome obstacles to finding your bliss.

My approach is rooted in a holistic perspective, where I consider your interests and strengths beyond the symptoms you may be experiencing.

Therapy is a profoundly cathartic journey, one that may require us to confront challenging experiences and navigate through difficult emotions.

Life can seem like a barrage of stimuli hurling at us. This makes it difficult to listen quietly and to be led intuitively. How do You respond? We all react differently or sometimes even destructively, manifesting in attempts at control, or feeling insecure and compulsive. If one feels anxious, afraid, and uncertain while trying to do life, the struggle to figure things out can seem even less navigable. I seek to create a safe environment that allows people in pain, emotional paralysis, fear, self harm, sadness, etc... to experience hope and gain practical skills in order to navigate their lives with more savvy and confidence.

I've been fascinated with human consciousness all of my life, and after instinctively healing myself with physical and emotional issues, I have been called to the fields of Hypnosis and NLP.

I have always wanted to help people. I’ve been able to do that in a variety of ways over the years. Working in domestic violence shelters, agencies that assist child sexual abuse survivors, in-home intensive substance abuse counseling...I’m privileged to have been able to help so many. It truly makes me happy. Now, I have my own practice after all of these years and I couldn’t be more excited to continue helping people; just in a much more enjoyable and comfortable setting. The therapists that work at Mandala are personally hired by me, and they are all wonderful and caring! You’re in great hands!

Many people struggle with issues in their lives and can benefit from meeting with a trained professional. I help my clients identify problems and work toward a solution. Most problems can be solved with proper help and early treatment, which keeps small problems from becoming large ones that then seem unsolvable. I believe that each individual is unique, regardless if the issues are the same they are still different. Because of this belief, I provide an eclectic approach to therapy matching each individual needs with a specific therapuetic approach. If applicable and the client is interested hypno-therapy is available.

"Lots of times people say, 'We want to get back to being the couple we once were.' But no, you really don't! Chances are, you don't want ANY part of that. More likely, you want to be something new—something better." As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) specializing in trauma, betrayal, compulsive sexual behavior and intimacy avoidance, Sharon knows that humans heal best through BEING, DOING, and PLAYING—not through sitting, planning and thinking. Sharon's favorite workdays involve watching clients move from being "stuck" in their heads to feeling "free" in their hearts. "That's when the miracles happen," she insists.
