Great to meet you!

I have over 30 years experience in the field and a strongly eclectic background. I am versed in cognitive, psychodynamic, behavioral, and many other approaches. In addition to being a clinical psychologist, I have a degree in developmental psychology and have worked in art therapy; family therapy; and college counselling. I am also IPI certified.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is tailored to the individual client. It is largely talk therapy, but is flexible depending on the client.

What you can expect from our first session

That will depend on the goals of the therapy, but they will feel like they have a partner in addressing personal challenges.

Shari's style is

Warm
Open-minded
Creative
