Sharon has always been prompt and concise in breaking things down and providing effective advice that enables me to understand my internal conflicts and move pass them in a graceful manner. Almost year with her and I’ve brought down my weekly therapy sessions to just once in 6 months, which I see as a huge win. And there have been steadily-built wins in my life as well - from holding my boundaries, losing weight, to managing interpersonal relationships. Every facet of my life is going upward now, and it all started because I sought help and spent 10 months having weekly chats with Sharon.

Sharon listened to my concerns and guided me thoughtfully back to the center when I strayed too far afield. She acted as a good sounding board, carefully considering what I said before jumping in to offer advice. I had a very good experience and would go this route again when and if I ever need to.
More about Sharon
- 40 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Florida and have worked in the profession for over 40 years. I have enjoyed my work with all populations over the years and find it rewarding to be an instrument of change in the lives of others. I use an eclectic approach as each situation will require flexibility and a more personal plan.
I am a great listener and communicator. I have a passion for children and families as its important to recognize and change destructive generational cycles. I have a great understanding of the impact of all forms of abuse on an individual's life and I am able to walk on that journey with anyone who has been affected.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
It will be my pleasure to work with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Sharon has been so helpful and instrumental to my life and well-being. I'm not a great talker - but I have felt so comfortable and she extracts so much and identifies the cause of my issues. Thank you Sharon you're amazing.
Sharon's a great therapist who listens and provides relevant suggestions to assist with life's challenges.
Over the past few months, Sharon has helped me to overcome challenges I was facing in my life now that were rooted in childhood issues. It is obvious she has lots of expertise in this area and has given me the tools to continue practice in to my life now. Would highly recommend.
Hi Sharon :) The help and support I get from you is very helpful. It is very nice to have someone to "talk" to, who has the knowledge, insight and who helps me to sort my thoughts out, in my difficult situation. I am so grateful for the support I have got from you, so far.
Sharon knows what to ask and how to respond. She is encouraging and offers viable solutions and comprehensible analyses for me to understand my own situation. I have many issues to deal with but I wasn’t sure which to tackle first. Sharon knew which ones took priority and I saw results within 2 weeks.
She is excellent at what she does, she communicates really well. She takes the time to understand and listen to what that you trying to get out therapy. I strongly recommend her and looking forward to an session. Thank you
I really like talking to Sharon. I feel she is listening, caring and understanding my challenges, and she is trying to find some good sollutions for me.
