Counselling Team

MA., RCC

My work is informed by the idea that all problems are about relationships: With Self, with Other, or with some aspect of the environment. When these relationships are working, we feel a genuine sense of wellness but when any one of these relationships are fractured in some way, our sense of well being is threatened and we will begin to see symptoms physically, emotionally, and/or in our relationships.

M.A., RCC

When overwhelmed by feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression, we can become disconnected from our inner experience and knowing. We can also feel disconnected from others and the world around us. This can be confusing and deeply painful.

Clients often describe my approach as warm and supportive. I am deeply passionate about guiding individuals, couples, and families towards growth and self-discovery. My work is rooted in building a profound connection between all parts of our being – our physical body, emotional body, mind, and spirit. Drawing upon the wisdom of the body, I strive to create balance among these elements to foster a sense of wholeness – an approach inherent to integrative and somatic therapy.

Self Care is not selfishness You cannot serve from an empty vessel. Take care of yourself, or you will have nothing left to give to others…
I believe that your hardest times often lead to the greatest moment of your life. If you are feeling hopeless, depressed and lonely, there is hope on the other side of the horizon.

As a therapist with over 20 years experience I have an uncommon ability to identify and mirror back the inner gifts of my clients while supporting them to clearly see and transcend their limitations. My counselling and coaching style includes unique, transformative exercises leading to expansive ways of thinking and being, that bring exciting possibilities within reach.  I gently support and challenge my clients to be accountable as they take steps to successfully navigate difficult mental states, relationship issues, and major life transitions.

Sharon is not accepting new clients at this time.

I am a professional counsellor with a passion for assisting people during times of life transitions, anxiety and grief. Mental health is part and parcel of overall health. It is not unusual for people to favour the body over the mind. I support clients in closing that gap. When one experiences emotional pain, feelings of helplessness and failure inevitably crop up. The negative thinking and ruminating commonly accompanying these draining emotions are, in truth, bad habits.

Helping people transform life’s challenges into opportunities for change, growth, and connection has been my passion and focus for more than 20 years in my work as a social worker, counsellor, and psychotherapist. I like to work as a team, collaboratively and compassionately addressing the struggles you are having in your life so that you can have more joy, peace, and satisfying relationships.

M.A., R.C.C

In my practice, I work collaboratively with clients in defining problems and developing solutions. My purpose is to help you gain a clearer understanding of what is true and necessary for you while providing guidance and support in working toward change.

MA., RCC

For over fifteen years I worked in visual arts education and exhibitions at museums and galleries in Vancouver. In these roles, I learned the power of observation—of looking for ruptures and incongruences to better understand the meaning beneath the surface of what we think we see and know. Working with large and diverse groups of adults and youth, I would facilitate sometimes difficult conversations about a wide scope of issues and concerns, often taking a global perspective.

M. Ed., RCC

I offer help by using a variety of different methods, focusing on the body, mind, and spirit, all done in the context of a professional and respectful relationship. My goal is to use my training and experience to offer as many of these opportunities as possible to the people I work with.
