The patterns that feel confusing or painful today often began as meaningful adaptations earlier in life. Early relationships, family dynamics, culture, and lived experience shape how we see ourselves, how we cope, and how we connect with others.

Welcome! My name is Sheri and I’m glad you’re here. Starting therapy can be a big step, filling you with a sense of hope, nervousness, or something in between. Taking this journey to help yourself feel better in your own skin, or to function better in relationships, is a huge act of self-care. Sometimes our old wounds, that have yet to heal, play an unsuspecting role in our lives today.

We all have days when we feel competent to take on the world, and then there are days when getting out of bed and brushing our teeth feels like an insurmountable task. If you are feeling overwhelmed, confused, or just not sure what to do and where to go next, let me be the first to say: "You are not alone!" Being human is difficult, particularly when we are trying to navigate our own needs in between the needs of our families, work, and the world.

I assist clients in developing insight into patterns within their behavior and relationships that are unsuccessful for them. Since these patterns are often shaped by the clients past, this is also something we explore. This awareness, combined with learning new ways of thinking and behaving, helps clients develop more effective and satisfying reactions, relationships and life choices. Believing in an individualized therapy approach, I develop a treatment plan unique to the needs and circumstances of each person. Within a supportive, accepting therapy relationship, the client gradually discovers their authentic self in a manner that helps to resolve their initial questions and concerns.

Are you experiencing anxiety, sadness, or a sense of hopelessness? These are normal emotions most of us experience at some point in our lives. What if you find yourself stuck or overwhelmed?

The recent pandemic and social stressors are affecting individuals in many different ways. Therapy will help you gain a new perspective and develop a personalised plan to gain new coping strategies.

Would you like to transform your life by gaining new insights into what makes you tick and what barriers prevent you from moving forward? My practice focuses on healthy relationships with ourselves, our partners, children, family co-workers, and others around us.
Relationships are so essential to our well being that they often influence our moods. They can be the basis of our feelings of safety, pleasure and satisfaction or the source of anger, bitterness and sadness. Often we are ambivalent and both positive and negative feelings exist at the same time.
