Testimonials

“Sharon, I'm very grateful for the sessions we did with you and everything we learned, those are tools I'll definitely be using forever!”
“I wanted to thank Sharon profusely for the assistance she provided me years ago. It was truly transformative, and I constantly remember how helpful our sessions were. Thank you so much for your time, your understanding, and your help.”
“Mylene has a compassionate heart and a skill for making clients feel safe and secure during sessions. Her methods are led with empathy but professionally executed. She saw me during my first year as a student and exponentially helped me navigate the transition to a new place while still coming to peace with family turbulence at home. Overall, I cannot recommend Mylene enough; I will forever be grateful for our sessions.”
"I want to thank you for everything I learned in working with you. I felt comfortable opening up about my past. Through our sessions, I learned to trust my values and lead with them. It has been over a year since our last session, yet you continue to have a huge impact on how I view my life and make decisions. I have managed to set healthy boundaries for myself and find myself nurturing a new and healthy relationship, which feels great!"
