Sharon is the first therapist I've been connected with. She is very professional and understanding. My favourite thing about her is how she actively listens and how direct she is. She gives more straightforward answer instead of vaguely suggestive answers. The sessions have been great and she helps me guide my problems and feelings very well. I'd highly recommend her to others.

I highly appreciate my sessions with Sharon, she helped me so much already through our video calls and the materials that she has been sharing with me. I like that she gave me a few exercises to do in between the sessions and I had a lot of "aha" moments from doing these exercises.

You look at your life and find it’s not what you hoped for and dreamed of.
The do anything and be anyone attitude you once had has either diminished or disappeared altogether.
The relationship you believed would enrich your life and even complete you hasn’t been what you expected.
At least a part of you has disappeared and you want to get the lost parts back.
You long to be seen, heard, understood and valued.
I have helped individuals and couples reimagine their lives and create a more authentic and full life. That can be you, too.
I will create a safe, nonjudgemental space where you can share, explore and heal. I want to get to know you; help you discover and clarify your goals for counseling; and collaborate with you to heal hurts, reveal strengths, and find a more meaningful life. I will vary my approach to meet your needs, what resonates with you, and what will help you reach your unique goals.
I work with male and female clients both individually and as couples. My clients are of varying ages, sexual orientations, and religious backgrounds. I have also facilitated a number of groups with varied focuses, including grief, careers-in-transition groups, and the Daring Way™. (The Daring Way™ is based on the work of Brene Brown, PhD, in the areas of wholehearted living, vulnerability and shame resilience.)
My greatest joy comes from helping clients work through or overcome relationship difficulties, walk through grief and loss in its varying forms, move through various life transitions, and build the resilience that will aid them in meeting future challenges.
My formal education includes an MA in Psychology from Houston Christian University, an MBA from Rice University, and a BS in Business Administration from the University of Southern California. In addition to the various counselor trainings that are listed in my profile, I am also a Certified Life Coach.
I look forward to having the opportunity of getting to know you and sharing a piece of life’s journey!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I appreciate the ability to message whenever I need to. Sharon always responds and helps me to feel grounded and focused on my needs, which had never been a priority before. She responds emphatically and validates my feelings as well as helping me to validate them myself.
Sharon is great! She is so validating and fun to talk to!
Sharon is respectful, understanding, compassionate, and caring. She is easy to talk to and makes me feel safe discussing very personal details. She has provided strategies and ways to help me through some of the most difficult times in my life. I would recommend her to my closest friends and loved ones.
Sharon made me feel at ease when I was explaining to her what I was going through and was excellent at guiding me through my experience to understand why I feel how I am, and certain measures I can do to control these feelings without being overwhelmed, thanks again :)
Sharon has been a blessing. She has been patient and understanding of my situation and has offered me a lot of insight on how to navigate through some difficulties I'm currently experiencing. Staying with Sharon.
