Hi, I’m Shar. I approach therapy with a holistic view that there isn’t one framework or style that fits every client. I strive to meet you where you are, create a safe space where you feel seen and understood, and set realistic and achievable goals with you to overcome challenges and improve your life. My style is straightforward, practical and warm. I have seen how a strong and consistent therapeutic relationship can help improve self-awareness, promote healing, and allow for significant personal growth. I was born in India, grew up in Singapore, and have since spent over a decade studying, living and working in multiple multicultural cities in Europe and North America.
