Sharla Paso
For nearly 31 years, Sharla has dedicated her life to nursing, a path inspired by her father's encouragement during her early days at community college. Nursing has become more than just a career for her; it's woven into her very identity. Beyond her professional pursuits, Sharla is a devoted wife and mother. To maximize family time, she pursued higher education, earning a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree in Women's Health/Perinatal Clinical Nursing. Her leadership skills were sharpened during the COVID pandemic as she managed the Clinical Education team at OHSU.

As owner of Medical Vocational Planning, Sharla learns about the various causes of harm to people, both within and outside the healthcare system, through the legal cases her company handles. She uses her expertise to actively decrease morbidity and mortality caused by healthcare errors by sharing her findings and knowledge with her healthcare colleagues.
Sharla believes that every role and experience in life is a step towards something better. For her, this led to founding and becoming the executive director of Listen Line Community Services, a nonprofit mental health crisis helpline and education service. Listen Line focuses on listening to individuals in need and removing barriers to mental health knowledge and care. The organization advocates for destigmatizing mental health and prioritizing both mental and physical well-being.

Our story
Listen Line Community Services was founded in May 2021 as a 501c3 nonprofit with the aim of providing vital mental health support services to all individuals. Our dedicated team turned on our 24/7 help line in October 2021, staffed by compassionate and well-trained "listeners." These individuals come from diverse backgrounds such as social work, nursing, teaching, pharmacy, and peer support, all united by their commitment to active listening and support.
Our primary objective is to intervene before mental health crises occur. We strive to create a community free from the stigma associated with mental health issues, envisioning a society where mental health care and physical health care are equally accessible, accepted, and funded.
Our Commitment
We're dedicated to providing exceptional service and building lasting client relationships. When you choose Brownstone Consultants, you're not just getting tax advice; you're gaining a trusted partner committed to your financial well-being.
ABOUT ME
My Story
Like many of my clients, I once believed that changing my body was the key to happiness and self-acceptance. I chased fad diets, obsessed over food, and constantly felt like I was failing. But through my own journey, I discovered that true transformation comes from within.
I learned to embrace compassionate behavior change, prioritize sustainable habits, and cultivate a deep respect for my body. Now, I'm passionate about helping others break free from the diet mentality and find lasting peace with food and their bodies.
NUTRITION COACH
Hi there! I'm Aimee
I believe that nutrition coaching should be more than just meal plans and calorie counting. It's about understanding your unique needs, challenges, and goals, and creating a personalized roadmap to success.
My approach blends science-backed nutrition with compassionate behavior change strategies to help you achieve lasting results without sacrificing your lifestyle or sanity.
I'm not here to tell you what to eat, but to empower you to make choices that nourish your body and mind.
Our mission
Listen Line Community Services's mission is to create a community where mental health is understood, supported, and prioritized.
We envision a society where mental health care is as accessible and accepted as physical health care.
We strive to achieve this by providing a 24/7 listening ear for those in need, offering mental health education, and collaborating with community partners to expand our reach and impact.
Our goal is to break down the stigma surrounding mental health, connect individuals with essential resources, and empower our community to prioritize mental wellness.
Trusted advisor
Anthony Almeida
A great reputation isn’t built overnight. Anthony has been building at the Jersey Shore for 20+ years. Many of his trade partners have worked with him for just as long. All of our business comes from clients and their neighbors, or members of the communities in the areas we serve. They all know Anthony personally. He does not hand off the oversight of your build to project managers, designers, or field specialists like many builders do. He remains hands-on from start to finish. High-quality construction is his standard, as are clean and professional job sites, and having respect for the surroundings in which we’re building. When you build a home with Bayfront, you’ll know he doesn’t compromise on standards to make the numbers work. He delivers solid homes that are constructed for longevity.
