Hi I’m Sheri! I’m currently accepting new clients. I enjoy helping people get control over their anxiety with effective techniques. If someone wants to make peace with their past so they can move on, we can use EMDR. As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I am a specialist in the family disease of Sex Addiction and can help where others do not understand. If a person struggles with words to describe their experience, Legos may be used in sessions to help them explore situations more effectively. I became a therapist in 2007 and still love having a front row seat to watch people’s lives get better. Let’s get started!

I love working with women, veterans and adults/older teens experiencing PTSD, depression, anxiety, panic, bipolar disorder, grief, addictions, thought disorders and religious or narcissistic abuse.
I believe we all have the capacity to heal ourselves and therapy has transformational, color-of-the-sky changing power. Life can be very hard and reaching out for help is a brave step toward reclaiming your life. The amazing part of therapy is that you won’t be alone to “figure it out” - in fact, I’ll be your biggest advocate and cheerleader for your whole life wellness! I have greatly benefited from therapy and I use my own experiences to bring empathy, safety and compassion to the therapeutic process. It would be an honor to be part of your journey.

We will begin with your current symptoms, dysfunctions, or just plain unhappiness. 98% of the time we are the walking wounded trying to function as if we are "fine" and nothing is "bothering me". This state of constant repression of our emotions will cause anxiety, depression, physical illness, phobias, and eventually an event will happen that leads to emotional crisis....the proverbial last straw.

I believe the therapy process involves forming a relationship with someone who you can share your innermost thoughts and struggles with. Everyone should be able to share their problems with a trusted individual in an environment that is safe and free from judgement. I provide my clients with an environment free from judgement where you can let your guard down and just be you. Admitting that you need help doesn’t mean something is wrong with you, it means you are ready to grow and better understand yourself.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
