I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience supporting couples and families. I work with all couples, including those recovering from infidelity, struggling with constant conflict, or who feel they’ve lost their spark. I draw on a variety of clinical approaches and extensive training in multicultural counseling, recovery, abuse, anxiety, and depression to tailor support to each couple’s needs. My goal is to help partners reconnect, improve communication, and strengthen their relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right marriage counselor?
While all our of counselors have years of experience specializing in couples therapy and all the challenges and unique situations that it encompasses, we understand it can feel overwhelming choosing the right therapist. That’s why we offer free 15-minute phone consults so you can start sessions with confidence. Reach out to our intake coordinator today to schedule yours.
How long are couples therapy sessions?
The first appointment (your intake session) is an extended 90 minutes. All following sessions are 50 minutes long. After your intake appointment each of you will have an individual session with your counselor. From there you may have more individual appointments but you will typically attend as a couple.
Do you offer both in-person and virtual appointments?
Yes! We want to ensure that scheduling sessions is as easy and stress-free as possible. You can attend sessions in-office, virtually or opt for a hybrid schedule.

Sharon has a kind and thoughtful approach that both my wife and I appreciate. Her helpful thoughts and suggestions have gotten us through a number of issues over a number of years. She’s worked with us together, and sometimes individually, to keep our relationship constructive and positive. Sharon has always been ready to help and it’s great knowing we can depend on her.
