Sharen has transformed my life. I approached her at a particularly low point, believing that no one could help me due to my lack of confidence, feelings of inadequacy, and the added issues of all things perimenopausal! Through our sessions, she has totally changed my life around and empowered me. Now, I can honestly say that I am the most confident and happiest I've ever been in my life. I eagerly anticipate each day and cherish our sessions. I tell her everything and she doesn’t judge as she makes you feel so comfortable. I’m constantly learning about how my brain works and find out sessions fascinating as well as therapeutic. Sharen always listens attentively, and her advice and knowledge is invaluable. While I've seen several psychologists since the age of 18, none have compared to Sharen. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

Sharen is just wonderful, she’s kind, supportive and caring. She really checks in on you when you need it and makes the time and effort for you especially when you are struggling. She really listens to you and supports you and has such an extensive understanding of certain things you go through. She’s really smart, well educated and really brings things going on in your life to perspective. Would highly recommend!

Sharen is the best therapist I've ever had. For the first time in my life, I’m making real progress in growing into the person I want to be. She has supported me through perhaps the darkest period in my life, and I’ve come out stronger. I’m so grateful for Sharen and her years of expertise.
