Sharri MoAssociate Marriage & Family Therapist

Sharri is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who holds a B.S. in Cognitive-Behavioral Neuroscience from UC San Diego and a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University. Her academic foundation in how the brain and body work together isn’t just theoretical — it shapes every aspect of how she shows up in the therapy room. Sharri believes deeply in the healing that becomes possible when we start paying closer attention to both our minds and our bodies, through authentic conversation and intentional movement.

Sharri works with children, parents, and adults, helping each of them build greater emotional awareness, regulation, and connection — wherever they are in their journey.

With children, she uses non-directive play therapy to create a safe space where feelings can be expressed freely and symbolically. Through play, children develop emotional insight, problem-solving skills, and stronger relationships with the caregivers who matter most to them.

With adults, Sharri’s work centers on trauma, anxiety, and relational challenges. She is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and integrates it when appropriate to help clients process distressing memories and move toward genuine, lasting healing.

Sharri describes her therapeutic style as emotion-focused and psychodynamic. She believes emotions are powerful messengers — signals that help us understand how we process experience — and that the early relationships we had shape how we think, feel, and connect today. She also holds firmly that mental health cannot be separated from physical, relational, and spiritual well-being. True healing attends to the whole person.

Therapy with Sharri is creative, tailored, and deeply human. Sometimes that looks like EMDR. Sometimes it looks like exploring emotions through art or movement. Sometimes it looks like sharing a cup of matcha at a favorite café. She meets you where you are and builds from there.

Outside of the therapy room, you’ll find Sharri hiking or walking outdoors, weaving movement and mindfulness together — living the same whole-person philosophy she brings to her clients every day.
