More about Shari

  • 26 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPCC

I am licensed in California with over 30 years of experience in mental health. I help clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse (including sexual assault and domestic violence) & coping with grief and loss. I have worked with many people who are experiencing thoughts of suicide or a suicide attempt as well as those who care about someone who is dealing with those concerns or who has lost someone to suicide. I also love to help people with life transitions such as exploring a new career or life goal.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to empower you in that process.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
