Do you long for greater love and purpose in your life? Do you feel lonely? Stuck in your struggles? Sad or down? Stressed or anxious?
Group therapy can help you find deeper meaning and connection through the practice of authenticity: "letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are" (Brené Brown). By helping you bring your full authentic self into connection, Group can help you transcend loneliness to find more fulfilling relationships. Group can help you lean into your life with more courage, compassion and vulnerability. Group can support your unique journey as you find your way home to where you belong, and to the relationships that sustain you.

Earlyn Sharpe
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., M.Ed, MHCP, NLP, ND
I know life does not always work out as planned. When these situations arise, you need an unbiased, non-judgemental, trained professional to help you navigate life challenges. At my practice, I offer a unique blend of counselling and coaching strategies, integrating evidence-based therapies like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), RECBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy), Hypnotherapy, and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) into my sessions, mainly specializing in individual and couples counselling. This holistic approach allows me to address mental health challenges, personal growth, and relationship dynamics comprehensively.
I facilitate coaching strategies by leveraging strengths-based approaches and motivational techniques to empower clients to achieve their desired outcomes. I simplify goal-setting, provide accountability, and offer practical strategies to navigate obstacles and maximize potential of my clients.
Clients often commend my empathetic and collaborative approach, emphasizing the transformative impact of our work together. They appreciate the practical tools and insights gained, empowering them to navigate life's complexities with resilience and clarity.
