My Approach

I'm glad you are here. I'm Sharon, a compassionate counsellor dedicated to helping individuals like you overcome challenges and find greater clarity and peace. My approach is grounded in empathy and respect, creating a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. I am trained in supporting individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relational conflicts, generational trauma, school or work avoidance, and other challenges.

I specialize in helping clients manage family conflict and dysfunction while considering cultural values and generational expectations. In our sessions, we will work together to uncover the root causes of your challenges and develop a path forward for positive change. My approach is informed by CBT, family systems and attachment theory.

In addition to my foundational approaches, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This powerful therapeutic technique can be especially beneficial for those dealing with trauma and distressing memories. EMDR helps clients process and integrate these experiences, leading to reduced emotional pain and a greater sense of empowerment. By incorporating EMDR into our sessions, we can work together to facilitate deeper healing and faster progress on your journey.

I believe that therapy is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves. And when you connect with the right therapist for you, you'll find yourself moving towards healing, growth, and a deeper understanding of who you are. I invite you to reach out and see if I might be that therapist for you.

A little bit about Sharon:

I’m passionate about self-care and exploring new experiences. From candle making to power lifting, I’ve tried so many new hobbies and truly love being a beginner at things. Reading, dancing, and bullet journaling are the ones where I find the most joy and fulfillment. I feel most like myself when I’m spending time outside or on the water with my dog. I cherish my work and feel so fortunate to do what I love.
