My "best" successes came from people who finally gave up on what wasn't working for them anymore and came in with an open mind. This worked with issues of anxiety and depression, habits that people didn't want to continue doing, relationships that felt broken, and coping mechanisms that used to work but then began to create more problems. I thoroughly enjoy working with people who are ready to get their lives back on track.

Facing a big life change? Avoiding your partner? Pretending everything is fine? I help individuals work through depression, anxiety, and life changes. I help partners work through conflict and decision making in order to increase intimacy and trust. Whether you need depression support, are changing careers, fine turning a relationship, or navigating a break up or divorce, therapy is worth the investment.

Suffering presents itself in a number of ways- behaviors and relationships we desire to change, uncomfortable emotions, chronic health problems, and feeling out of touch with meaning in our lives. I aim to help clients not only feel better, but live a life according to their values. I work with adults across the lifespan, and address a range of concerns from adjustment to life changes, stress and health management, relationship concerns, and significant mental health conditions. I particularly enjoy helping others overcome trauma, phobias, panic disorder, and depression. I support diversity- all are welcome, including non traditional relationships; sex positive.

My practice is based on anti-oppressive principles & embodied awareness. I work with people of all sexualities & genders to address depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, family conflict, relationship issues, self-esteem, & trauma using a holistic approach to healing. I have expertise in addressing sexual violence & the traumatic effects of systems (racism, sexism, homophobia etc). I encourage clients to nurture their inner voice, to gently observe what happens in the present moment, & to engage actively in the therapeutic process. My practice is poly, kink & sex worker affirming.

With over 20 years of professional experience treating depression, anxiety, relationship issues and struggles with food, weight, body image, and disordered eating, I believe all mental health symptoms are there for reasons. Our work is to uncover those reasons and discover more effective means of caring for self. Exploring family dynamics, life experiences, personal beliefs, and both conscious and unconscious aspects of Self are all part of the therapeutic process. In therapy we work with the conscious and unconscious material which surfaces in the psychotherapy room as well as bringing attention to thought and behavior patterns, developing insights, and strategizing solutions.

My practice is currently full. Please check back. --For decades, I've helped people of all kinds in a variety of life challenges. Through relational therapy, applying complementary therapeutic approaches such as CBT, my goal is to help YOU uncover your true potential and power to live a life you enjoy. Do you doubt that is possible? Therapy may consist of practicing skills related to social and emotional learning; learning how your thoughts effect everything, uncovering and navigating the life stories and perhaps telling those stories over and over, of depression, trauma, anxiety, loss, and stress.

Struggling with depression or anxiety? Breaking patterns is hard, but you know you want change and meaningful redirection. Painful memories and recurrent conflict can strain relationships. Work stress gets in the way of being present and feeling fulfilled. People often work with me to get things moving when they feel blocked or stuck, to develop calm where uncertainty has them off balance. Our work will reveal insight to restore stability, address trauma, and change outlook towards realizing an improved sense of self. Together we can work to identify and harness strength, addressing challenges with new clarity and inspiration.

Hi. I'm Cheryl. I'm a Christian Counselor. I love helping people feel better! I love when my clients tell me "hey, that worked!" or "I am getting along much better with XYZ" or even "I'm feeling much better." I specialize in integrating the Christian faith with secular counseling approaches, which I feel makes me unique in the counseling field. I believe my approach gives my clients the best chance for success, change, and improved quality of life. I list cognitive behavioral therapy as my main approach, but I believe it is the relationship between client and therapist that is the most important factor in counseling.

I will approach my work with you with respect, care and curiosity. I hope that we will collaborate to find the things that work well for you and nourish you, to invite curiosity about your habits, to acknowledge and celebrate your strengths, and to hold your difficulties with compassion, and awareness that you are not alone. I will give you new tools to care for yourself and empower you to connect with and trust in your fundamental goodness. I will bring mindfulness, somatic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, and my own humanity to the table to meet you where you are.

I believe psychotherapy is a journey a client and therapist embark on together. My role is to help you move toward improved mental health and emotional functioning. We will use interactive self exploration to help you understand the obstacles that may presently be preventing you from achieving your goals.
