Sharon is very kind and engaging. She has listened tentatively to me and asked me questions that have allowed me to assess the situations in different ways. In all honesty, she is the best therapist I've ever worked with.

Sharon has been a wonderful and deep helper, she's accommodated for my work schedule whenever I ask and has been completely open about her therapeutic techniques. Her tone and concern are always clearly honest and, if you want it, her ability to reduce the "therapy" feel of the conversation is top tier. With her assistance I have confronted many past demons and have been able to express more confidence without guilt than ever before.
