About

Welcome! I’m glad you are here. You should be proud of yourself for choosing to prioritize your health and wellness.

My name is Shar and I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor and certified parent coach. I have been working in the Mental Health field for the last eleven years in a variety of settings both nationally and internationally. I have experience in the outpatient, inpatient, and the school setting working with adults, youth, and families.

My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. My therapy style is authentic and brave, meaning we will create a space together that is honest, compassionate and warm, but also do the necessary brave work that it takes to make change. We will work together to identify clear goals that you can track as part of your own unique plan.
