About

Hey there! My name is Sharon, and I'm a lover of the great outdoors, perfectly roasted coffee, classic rock, and Star Wars.

Let me start by saying this- you're doing great. You're on this counseling page right now, which means that you have decided to get help for an issue that you are ready to deal with. As Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi would say, "You have taken your first step into a larger world". As your therapist, my goal is to support and empower you in reaching your personal goals. Our process in therapy can look different, depending on how you'd like to tackle things. Most importantly is that you feel safe and comfortable with the pace and approach we use in your sessions.

I have a Masters in Social Work, and am also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of North Carolina. I have 3 years of clinical experience working with children and adolescents, in community, home, and residential settings. I have worked with a range of mild to severe mental and behavioral health needs, and have experience incorporating art, music, nature and mental health education into sessions. I have used various approaches in therapy including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solutions focused therapy, person-centered therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). Part of the treatment process will include finding the right approach for you, and using it in combination with your personal strengths.

Feel free to reach out and ask any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you!
