Hi there, I'm Cheri!

I’m a mental health counselor who’s passionate about helping people find calm, clarity, and confidence through life’s toughest moments. I specialize in working with stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and depression, and I strive to help each person feel seen, supported, and empowered.

My focus

I work with individuals, supporting them through life’s challenges and transitions. My expertise includes trauma, PTSD, behavioral issues, suicidal ideation, stress, spirituality, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. I strive to create a safe, supportive space for healing.

My approach

My approach is compassionate and collaborative, drawing on Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, Trauma-Focused, Solution-Focused, and Mindfulness-based therapies, as well as Motivational Interviewing. I tailor my methods to support your unique needs and goals.

My communication style

I bring an empathetic, collaborative, and strengths-based approach to our work together. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, supporting growth, insight, and healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into mental healthcare comes from my own experience with trauma. I became a counselor to help individuals heal, feel supported, and find calm, clarity, and confidence through life’s toughest challenges.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you heal, grow, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence. I provide guidance, coping strategies, and support so you can find calm, clarity, and a greater sense of well-being every step of the way.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy, set goals together, and begin building a trusting, supportive relationship. I’ll listen carefully, answer your questions, and create a safe space to foster healing and growth at your pace.
