Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome! I’m Sharon, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and EMDR Certified Therapist. I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wheaton College and have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults across a variety of settings—from therapeutic day schools and inpatient addiction programs to supporting individuals through cross-cultural challenges, spiritual trauma, grief, and major life transitions.

My approach to therapy

What I value most in this work is the opportunity to hear and honor each person’s unique story. I use a holistic, trauma-informed approach that honors the brain-body-spirit connection, integrating evidence-based and mindfulness-based practices such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting (BSP), and expressive modalities like Art and Play Therapy. I find that these approaches can open doors when words fall short, helping clients deepen their connection to themselves and uncover new layers of emotional awareness and self-understanding.

What you can expect from me

As your therapist, my commitment is to provide a safe and compassionate space where your story can be explored with care and respect. I believe therapy is not about rewriting who you are, but about rediscovering and embracing the strengths already within you. Together, we can explore the chapters surrounding your experiences, and shape a path that nurtures healing, growth, and meaningful change in your life story.
