Compassionate Counseling and Therapy: Finding the Beauty in Every Step of Your Healing

Hi, I'm Shara.

As a professional counselor associate, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate major life transitions, including those related to adulthood, education, career, family dynamics, divorce, and parenting.

My passion lies in guiding clients through major life transitions. I aim to help you stay grounded and navigate overwhelming moments with clarity.

I offer specialized couples and family counseling focusing on communication and addressing interpersonal dynamics and connectedness.

Additionally, I serve the diverse needs of marginalized communities, including transgender and non-binary adolescents and adults. I offer supportive and affirming care, guiding clients through societal norms and fostering self-authenticity as they address their unique challenges.

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and I’m here to support you through those significant changes.

To make therapy as accessible as possible, I provide telehealth services via video and phone, allowing you to receive support from the comfort of your own home.

I look forward to meeting you.
