About Sharon
In sessions she listens closely and uses practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or parenting concerns. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, eating and self-esteem struggles, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. Narcissism is listed among her areas of focus when it relates to relationship and intimacy concerns.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered approaches to help clients act in ways that match their values. She may also use existential ideas to help people find meaning, and hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate.
Sharon tends to keep language plain and the pace steady. She helps people sort complicated family and adoption-related issues, blended family dynamics, abandonment or attachment wounds, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and problems arising from caregiver stress or medical challenges like cancer.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sharon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where values and action matter.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections shape current relationships. This approach helps when intimacy, abandonment, or family-of-origin issues affect how someone connects or trusts others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss options with each person and adapt methods based on their goals, comfort, and what they want to change. The process is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep continuity during busy seasons of life, but Sharon will review what format best supports your goals when you schedule.
