Guidance Through
Life’s Transitions
Whether you’re starting your counseling journey or continuing on a lifelong path of self-discovery, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s find clarity, hope, and relief — together.
Welcome
“If it is time to find clarity, hope, relief, and a sense of empowerment — this is your opportunity to begin the conversation.”
I enjoy working with emerging adults and adults of all ages. During times of transition — leaving home for the first time, beginning a family or career, grieving a loss, or caring for aging parents — you may feel anxious, stuck, or not quite like yourself. You are not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out alone either.
Therapeutic Approach
Warm, Grounded & Evidence-Based
My therapy style is grounded in best practices and theory. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and culturally appropriate strategies — delivered with a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental approach.
We’ll look at the way your self-talk impacts your perceptions, find new ways to look at things, and address this through reframing. I use a holistic approach that explores how you experience life — mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
Exploring balance in therapy and in life is a priority. I use humor, stories, and positive psychology to balance the painful and unpleasant. You are encouraged to come exactly as you are — even if it’s messy. Pets are always welcome in session.
Areas of Focus
You May Be Feeling…
Anxious or Overwhelmed
Restless, overusing substances to turn down emotional intensity, or struggling to stay on top of life’s activities. These are real reasons people choose to talk with a counselor.
In the Middle of Change
Navigating divorce, family transition, emerging adulthood, or career shifts. You may be grieving the familiarity of the life you once knew — and that is okay.
Searching for Clarity
Avoiding conflict, feeling alone in your struggle, or exploring your gender or sexual identity. This is a safe space — for all of it, exactly as it is.
“Kayaking with my dog, hiking and skiing are my favorite activities. These help me stay grounded and mindful — and they’re something I often encourage my clients to explore in their own way.”— Cheri, Licensed Professional Counselor
Mindfulness & Nervous System
Calm, Steady & In Control Again
I specialize in anxiety, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply not like yourself, I offer a space where you can slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to feel more steady.
I provide both in-person and telehealth sessions to meet you where you are.
