About Sharika

My passion is helping children, teens, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience. With children, I use Play Therapy and other creative approaches to help them express emotions, manage behaviors, and build healthy coping skills. With teens, I focus on school stress, friendships, anxiety, depression, and family communication to support both academic and personal growth.

I also work extensively with adults and couples, addressing concerns such as trauma recovery, relationship challenges, marital issues, divorce adjustment, life transitions, and emotional wellness. Whether through EMDR, IFS, CBT, or EFT, I personalize therapy to meet each client’s unique needs while providing a safe, compassionate space for healing.

When you work with me, you’ll find a supportive, judgment-free environment where your story matters. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, blending empathy with proven, evidence-based strategies to help you move toward your goals. Together, we’ll build resilience, strengthen relationships, and work toward lasting transformation.

If you or your child are ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Book a session today through Zocdoc or directly on the website and begin your journey toward healing and growth.
