Sharon Younkin

Like many Americans, do you find yourself burned out managing life at home and work after the last four years. According to the American Psychological Association (05/23), you are not alone. There is evidence of workplace burnout with a 180% increased risk of depression and a 40% increased risk of hypertension. In life, when things go wrong (divorce, job stress/loss, medical challenges, financial pressures, death of loved ones) many people become negative and avoidant. The way we navigate these challenging times determines whether we build inner strength and gain wisdom or bear the consequences of perfectionism and self-criticism. Using cognitive and behavioral strategies, I will work with you to find a better way. I have expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Through the lens of compassion, you will learn how you can face your emotions to feel better about yourself and grow your ability to cope with life. With curiosity and willingness, you will learn how you can make things easier in the future. Inner peace, self-acceptance, compassion, connection and better health can be the rewards of this journey. If you would like to better cope and be gentle with yourself and others, contact me to take the next step. I would be honored to work with you.
