About Sharika

My passion for supporting others is what inspired my journey into the counseling field. While working as a Practice HR Manager in the corporate world, I often found myself offering a listening ear to employees struggling with personal challenges. These conversations opened my eyes to how deeply life outside of work affects our emotional well-being, motivation, and performance. I realized that many people needed more than just a supportive colleague—they needed a safe, compassionate space to process, heal, and grow. That realization led me to pursue counseling, where I could combine my natural empathy with professional training to make a lasting impact. Today, I’m honored to walk alongside individuals as they navigate life’s ups and downs, discover their strengths, and work toward becoming the best version of themselves. Helping others find healing isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. 

When you work with me, you’ll enter a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where your voice is heard and your story matters. I take a collaborative, client-centered approach—meaning we work together to find what works best for you. With compassion and intention, I blend empathy with effective, practical strategies to help you move toward your goals. My focus is on building self-awareness, strengthening resilience, and encouraging personal growth. I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way as you navigate your healing journey and move toward a more empowered version of yourself.
