Be still and notice that every person deserves well-being.  Whether mental health counseling, leadership coaching, or social and emotional leadership programs, I am genuinely committed to the well-being experience alongside my clients.

Growth Groups: Social and Emotional Leadership Program for Youth or Adults

In addition to individual mental health counseling, I offer a small group social and emotional leadership program. I believe you will find this program to be a great benefit for your personal growth or for your child’s personal growth. If you would like to read more about why this program is important, read the following: Overview of Sharrett Counseling Growth Group Program. Watch the video below to learn more.

Your Counselor

Originally from the United States, I am currently based in Eastern Europe, working with clients in Europe and around the world. With extensive counseling experience in hospitals, private practice, and group counseling settings, I serve clients as a mental health counselor or leadership coach. Having lived and worked in four European cities (Sofia, Athens, Thessaloniki, and Tirana), my counseling approach is also informed by the cross-cultural challenges of expat life. 

Education has been an integral part of my professional training. Holding graduate degrees with high honors in Counseling Psychology & Psychotherapy, Educational Leadership, and Theological Studies, I work with individuals, small groups, and communities to help facilitate experiences for well-being and leadership growth.

I have also had the privilege of serving 10 years as a professional educator (5 years at international schools). This experience positions me to better serve clients, students, parents, families, educators, leaders, and those in people-helping professions. I offer psychotherapy services in English for adults, adolescents, or children.
