Hi there, I'm Cheryl!

Seeking counseling from a therapist is a courageous first step! Congratulations on taking the first step toward investing in your healing and overall wellness! Regardless of age, gender, or status, we all encounter challenges and difficulties throughout different phases of our lives. For the past 18 years, I have developed various skills working with varying populations such as children, adults, institutional and probationers/parolees (returning citizens), substance use, and the senior population. I gained experience working with clients in many clinical domains, including hospitals, private practices, community, outpatient, inpatient, residential, behavioral health, and correctional settings. I specialize in providing comprehensive assessments and services to individuals experiencing difficulties managing stress and anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and legal system involvement. As a result, I assist individuals in developing practical coping skills, increasing their self-esteem, and gaining greater self-awareness to help them resolve life’s challenges. My goal is to provide an open and safe space for my clients, where they are supported, and self-exploration and personal growth are encouraged. We will work together to address areas of client concern to improve the client’s spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental health wellness. I utilize an integrative approach that focuses on using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy, delivered in an empathetic and non-judgmental manner. I’m compassionate about making the therapeutic experience inclusive, collaborative, and hope-filled. I welcome the opportunity to embark upon this life-changing journey with you!
