Hi, I’m Sharen!

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Founder of Evolve, based in Los Angeles, California

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the stories we carry, the experiences that shape us, and the moments that invite us to grow. Over the years, both personally and professionally, I have witnessed the incredible strength people hold — often while carrying expectations, responsibilities, and challenges that leave little room for themselves.

The Letter

Evolve was born from years of listening.

Listening to the people who sat across from me in therapy. Listening to those I love. And listening to my own heart as I navigated seasons of growth, loss, and change.

Again and again, I noticed the same quiet struggle.

People who gave and gave until there was almost nothing left for themselves.

I've Lived This, Too

My own journey has held its share of hard things: family patterns I’ve had to gently untangle, an upbringing and cultural expectations I’ve had to find my own way through, and seasons of loss and grief that asked everything of me. It has also held so much joy: love, family, and a career that has challenged and rewarded me beyond what I imagined.

All of it shaped me. Through the hard and the beautiful, I’ve learned to feel more comfortable in my own skin, to hold healthy boundaries, and to speak my mind. It made me the woman I am today — and I’m still growing. I always will be.

I know what it’s like to sit with the hard things. And I know what it’s like to slowly find your way back to yourself.

Over the years, one thing stayed with me: so many of the people who needed support most simply couldn’t reach it. The cost. The waitlists. The logistics of fitting one more thing into a life already stretched thin. They were ready to do the work — they just didn’t have a way in.

So I created Evolve. A softer, more accessible way to do the deep work — through gentle, guided workbooks you can move through at your own pace, and honest words that remind you you’re not alone in any of it.

That’s the foundation I bring to my work as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist — over 20 years spent helping people move through life’s hardest transitions, and now, that same care poured into Evolve.

Real Life, Real Experience

I bring both my clinical training and my own lived experience to this work, the “therapist hat” and the “woman navigating life hat.”

I believe there’s no single “right way” to heal or grow, only the way that’s honest for you.

I’m so grateful you’re here.

Evolve helps people move through burnout, people-pleasing, and life’s hardest transitions with more clarity and self-trust.
