Sharon Flanagain

Hi, I’m Sharon Flanagain, Probation Coach. I specialize in helping individuals navigate the tough road of court-mandated probation. From the moment you are arrested for a DWI/DUI/PI offense, your world will forever change. There are many fears and questions regarding your future. The lack of guidance, information, and general help throughout the process is what propels me. My much-lived experience and multi-disciplined education has prepared me to help you complete your process successfully. I am not a lawyer, probation officer, therapist, or medical professional. I am a peer. I have been where you are. I know the way out.

Core Values That Drive Me

  • Empathy: I’ve been through probation myself, so I understand the struggles and fears you’re facing.
  • Integrity: I will be honest and straightforward with you, trust is the foundation of our work together.
  • Collaboration: I’m dedicated to walking beside you, step-by-step, until you reach the end of your probation.
  • Resilience and Encouragement: I believe in your ability to overcome setbacks, and I’ll help you stay focused on the road ahead.
  • Community: I know how important it is to have the right support system to avoid loneliness and isolation. I’ll help you build a combination of structured programs, schedules, connections, and community resources as necessary.
