Hi there, I'm Cheryl!
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) in both California and Idaho, working statewide in California via telemedicine platforms. I work with adults, and I specialize in many areas of stress-related issues, including anxiety, trauma and PTSD, grief, burnout, infidelity, and aging.
My focus
I've worked with military combat victims and victims of sexual assault for much of my career in this field, with both individuals & in groups. I have developed curricula with proven results in guiding victims away from reactive fear-based behaviors & towards reclaiming control in both the choices being made & the resulting strength felt in these.
My approach
I have a foundational belief in each person's core goodness. Using kindness and compassion, I soften the external weapons each of us chooses when feeling threatened, whether by our sadness, our anxiety, our loneliness, our self-imposed expectations, or our negative, judging voice of disdain.
