My client focus spans from college age adults to elders, male or female, of any ethnicity, and of any religious affiliation or orientation.
Hi, I'm Cheryl. I have 20+ years of experience as a Clinical Social Worker/therapist. I see therapy as a process of introspection with compassion. Within therapy, one learns to listen and respond with compassion for oneself and others. In therapy, one can develop the ability to expand awareness and be more flexible in making life choices. My specialties include depression, anxiety, loss and grief, relationship issues, gay and lesbian issues, and trauma. I use a blend of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic models and work with individuals, couples and groups.

I'm passionate about working with adults with active substance use issues, in new or long-term recovery, or experiencing grief or loss. I'm a licensed therapist and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS). I have specialized training in substance abuse treatment with many years of experience. I welcome clients who want to explore whether or not the problematic behavior meets criteria for “addiction". I believe addiction induces much shame that individuals will need to recover from due to the damage addiction has caused in their lives physically, socially, and emotionally.
