Sharon has helped me more than I could have ever imagined. My anxiety and worries were quick to lift once I started my therapy sessions with her. She really made me feel a sense of comfort, calmness and warmth in each session. I will be checking in again with her in a few months. Grateful to have been matched with Sharon.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Best therapist I could ask for!
Sharon has been so helpful to me. She is so easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable straight away. She offers help and explanations for why I feel certain ways and gives tools and advice for me to help myself.
Sharon did a great job of guiding me through initial troubles and concerns, helping me make some sense of a difficult situation. She is kind, patient and professional. Highly recommended.
Sharon is incredible at her job. Kind, compassionate, helpful - bringing clarity and understanding to her job with enthusiasm and joy. You feel held by Sharon, guided by her when you want help, and always listened to. She meets you where you are, with no judgement. There's nothing I wouldn't feel comfortable brining to a session. She is phenomenal.
Sharon is a wonderful therapist and a lovely person. She listens and advises with great wisdom and knowledge and has a very positive personality that helps to make me feel very comfortable and relaxed during our sessions. I'd highly recommend Sharon. Thanks for everything.
Sharon is a very compassionate and caring therapist and I always feel very heard by her. She responds to me quickly with sensitivity and good advice. Always feel like I’m in a safe space to talk.
Sharon is honestly the best therapist I think I've had in 14 years of seeking therapy. She's attentive, understanding, kind, caring. She really pays attention and remembers details from sessions that even I forget. I look forward to every session with Sharon. It feels like having a chat with a good friend. Highly recommend this incredible woman!
From the very first session, I was struck by Sharon's exceptional ability to listen attentively, creating a safe and non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable sharing my deepest thoughts and emotions. She has an incredible talent for empathizing with clients, and her kind and warm demeanor immediately put me at ease. I genuinely felt heard and understood during every session. During our sessions we were able to home in on the core issues and she helped me gain new perspectives on the challenges I was facing. I wholeheartedly recommend Sharon to anyone seeking a therapist who is not only empathetic and kind but also incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. Thank you, Sharon, for your exceptional work and the positive influence you have had on my journey of self-discovery.
Sarah is very pleasant to talk too seems to know her expertise very well and seems to slowly reveal core issues. very relaxed atmosphere she makes you feel right at home and makes opening up v easy. the relaxing beagles on the background living their carefree live soothens me and eases opening up.
Sharon is an extremely kind and caring individual. I feel extremely heard by her and i'm excited to continue my journey with her.
Sharon is a lovely therapist who makes you feel at ease and welcome from the very start. She is intent on listening and if she feels like she has something to add that may give a better insight, then she will respectfully. I highly recommend her.
