Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Shari and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe that prioritizing your mental health is one of the greatest investments you can make in yourself. With over 7 years of experience, I provide an affirming, empowering, and solution-oriented approach tailored to your unique needs. My goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel supported as we work together to build on your strengths, overcome challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and you are the expert on your own life. My approach is affirming, empowering, and solution-oriented, helping you build on your strengths while developing practical tools to navigate life's challenges. I tailor each session to your unique goals and needs, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Whether you're working through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, my goal is to help you gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we'll get to know each other, discuss what brings you to therapy, and identify your goals for treatment. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. We'll also begin working on the concerns that brought you to therapy, so you can leave with practical insights, strategies, and a clear path forward.
