01 · Who Sharon works with

02 · In Sharon's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Are you struggling with or just need a helping hand with feelings of depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, life transitions, or issues with a family member who is on the spectrum? I believe through hard work between therapist and client that all things are possible. We start by meeting where you are at.
My approach is an individualized strengths-based approach including components of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). I assist adolescents through end of life in achieving their goals.
For over 25 years, I have done work ranging from helping pregnant teens in navigating their difficult situations to counseling families through end-of-life issues and all matters in between. Simply I LOVE to help people and believe through therapy we can achieve your goals, resolve past issues, and improve your overall mental and emotional wellbeing.
Starting on the therapy journey can be scary but can lead to a rewarding outcome. Please allow me to help you navigate through depression, anxiety, life transitions, substance use disorder, relationship conflicts, medical issues, and/or autism spectrum disorder challenges. “Behind you are your memories, before you are your dreams, within you all you need

03 · What happens next
Sharon practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Sharon's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Sharon at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Sharon is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Sharon.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Practical details
05 · Provenance
Sharon's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Sharon. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
