Sharmen has been part of the MRC team since 2015 and is adept at navigating the trenches of narcissism and emotional abuse. Her mission is to speak practical truth into dark places so people can apply it to their own hearts, story, and relationships. She is not afraid to challenge faulty, destructive thinking and find solutions to collaborate in building relationships that people love being a part of. She specializes in helping people create resilience and navigate relationships from a Christ-centered perspective in which God is the focus of the journey, and His transformative work is vital to bind the broken hearts, set the captives free, and bring redemption to the story. Sharmen currently works primarily with adults who are struggling to come out of hiding, isolation, and self-protection, and helps them create a path toward authentic living, which translates to authentic relationships and deeper connections. Whether the “hiding” looks like narcissism or codependency, she helps untangle the lies and nonsense, and what trauma has done to your soul and ability to attach within relationships. She is gifted at working with men and women individually, as couples, and within group settings. Whether you are trying to stay well or leave well, she can help you clarify what is going on and find a way to be well either way.
