Sometimes, often—in fact—life seems to be living us instead of us living life. If we’re honest, we feel disconnected not only from others, but from ourselves as well. This sense of honesty requires courage, and we’re not sure we can quite muster up what is needed to reconnect, to release anxiety and fear, to move into a place of flourishing rather than just surviving. Many of us have had trauma that feels almost unspeakable, insurmountable. We may have things in our lives we’ve never been able to speak about…with anyone. And yet, your story and experiences matter, and they greatly influence the person you are and continue to become.
Having walked my own journey of soul healing for a decade and a half, I invite you to come and find a place of safety to just be. My specialties include being a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in Training, which means collaboratively we will seek healing from patterns of feeling “stuck” that repeat themselves and no longer serve you well.
People from all walks of life are welcome in my office. Whether you are taking your first steps into the realm of counseling, or you are needing a deeper look into what keeps you in frustrating and unsettling patterns, welcome! Together we will pilgrim on a healing path that leads to greater freedom while safely honoring your needs, dignity and personhood.

Sharon's presence with you is warm and safe. Just being with her is a healing experience. On top of this she is brilliant. She can hold all the pieces of the puzzle and understand what you are going through. She is also very skillful in her use of S.E.

Sharon is uniquely gifted in that she categorically excels in both clinical mastery (somatic/body work) and relational attunement. In my experience, Sharon's presence and energy creates true safety, and I believe it's in that place that true work can begin

Believing in a deep connection between body and mind, I use Somatic Experiencing, which means I am passionate about collaborating with you to discover how your body and all of who you are, has and does store the imprint of your life's experiences. I also use exploring parts of self and bi-lateral stimulation, along with talk therapy to bring fuller exploration leading to deeper healing.
