Client Centered
I believe in meeting you where you are during each session. I draw from a variety of skills using CBT, DBT, psychodynamic psychotherapy, Nurtured Heart Approach, art therapy, and play therapy. We will collaborate to find what feels best for you.
My Approach
Culturally Sensitive
I believe in taking time to understand all facets of a person and their identity. I am passionate about serving POC and marginalized communities. I specialize in serving the Asian American diaspora and understanding the first and second generation experience. I have run therapeutic workshops with deaf students in Peru and the Aborginal community in Australia.
Trauma Informed
Every person differs in the way they carry the wounds of their difficult experiences. I prioritize creating a comfortable environment and following a pace that feels safe for each client. I blend a deeper exploration of the past with coping strategies for the present and future.
What is art therapy
Goes beyond words
Our creative self-expression allows us to process our feelings on a deeper level and reach our therapeutic goals without depending on only words to get us there. It is helpful for anyone at any age.
Feels Empowering
Art making can serve as a soothing tool that regulates the body. It can leave you feeling accomplished, creative, and playful… all the keys to breaking out of feeling ‘stuck’
Strengthens talk therapy
Art therapists have the tools to strengthen the therapeutic modalities you would find in traditional talk therapy, such as CBT, DBT, humanistic, and psychodynamic psychotherapy, while providing additional ways to process these concepts in a creative way

Verified Client
"The value of having a space where I was heard, supported, and understood cannot be understated. When words failed, drawing was how I was able to express my inner experience, which Sharon helped me process."

Any one at any age! Yes, it is commonly known as a fantastic option for children, non-verbal individuals, and neurodivergent minds. It is equally effective for the intellectualizer looking to get more in touch with their inner selves. It can also be for the artist looking to move beyond their perfectionist ways.
