About Me

Sharon is the founder and owner of Exhale Behavioral Health. She is a licensed clinical social worker with a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Northern Illinois University, a Masters of Social Work from Aurora University, and more than 20 years of experience working with clients.

Sharon specializes in anxiety and depression in adolescents and adults. Sharon works from a place of compassion with an authentic investment in the lives and well being of her clients. Building on the strengths that you already have, she will help you work through your challenges and ultimately support you to achieve your goals. Sharon has helped people in a variety of life situations. She enjoyed “sitting” beside her clients and together identifying the issues and what goals to work on.

Sharon enjoys working with adolescents, adults, and couples and has extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, eating disorders, family issues, relationship issues, and OCD. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Talk Therapy.

When people walk into the practice, I want them to feel comfortable and at home. Exhale is a safe space and no judgment zone.
