I can see the potential for true "health" in every individual and am positive and excited about each client. I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, an MFT license, an MA in Counseling Psychology, an MS in Secondary Ed/Business, & a BS in Fash Merch/Sciences. I was always led to the power of the mind and the cause/effect of family & other relationships on mental health. Psychology is my true calling, gift, and passion. Everyone needs to briefly uncover perceptions from the past and recognize how these perceptions can block us from living a balanced life in the present.

Hi, I'm Cheryl. I have 15+ 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 work primarily with individual adults and couples who are experiencing difficulties ranging from major mental illness to situational problems that are interferring with their daily living. My work with clients is designed to determine the most effective approach to assist them in reaching their goals in developing a healthy and satisfying life. I am experienced in working with individuals with mood disorders, anxiety disorders and substance abuse as well as indiviuals who additionally are experiencing a personality disorder. In couple's therapy I address communication patterns that cause roadblocks to the couple's ability to build a healthy and close relationship.

Seeking professional help is an important step. The task of finding the right therapist can be overwhelming. Finding someone with whom you have a genuine connection is paramount to healing and growth. This is why I offer all new clients a free 30-minute phone consultation, allowing you to ensure we are a good fit. I strive to infuse authenticity & "realness" into my work with clients and to create an environment where they are comfortable doing the same.

As a trauma informed and TFCBT certified & state rostered licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I can help you heal your wounds and learn healthier mechanisms to better cope internally and relationally. I can work with you as your therapist or personal coach. In any case, I will work closely with you to provide a safe and confidential space which you may use for your own personal growth. Are you struggling in your marriage/relationship as a couple? We often overcompensate due to untreated injuries or traumas, repeating the same patterns that don’t work. Let’s learn to heal to better connect to our true authentic selves & others.

I provide psychodynamic therapy to individuals (ages 14+) and couples. This type of therapy addresses the underlying causes and meanings of unwanted symptoms and dysfunctional patterns. It heals by bringing unconscious content to consciousness and by fostering deeper relationships with parts of ourselves we previously ignored, denied or even disdained. Psychodynamic therapy is often well suited for those who haven’t responded well to other types of therapy.

I've long thought the visual of crossing waters to be an excellent metaphor for the path that lies ahead in many of life's difficult situations...and the work done in the therapy room. Desired destinations, unexpected storms, and unknown territory. I view my job as coming along side to help you gain your bearings while we, together, clarify where you are in your journey and develop a plan for moving forward. Whether you are facing long-standing familiar struggles that continue to hinder you or encountering frightening situations for the first time that threaten to unravel your life as you know it, you need to know there is hope.

I believe in being a safe place for clients, offering encouragement, a listening ear and a different perspective. My view is one of no judgment. I offer peace, caring, warmth, empathy, and understanding. My mission is to help my clients find further freedom, clarity and direction. I am motivated by the passion to help people discover more about their identities and fulfill their ultimate purposes. I believe in the holistic approach of mind, body, and spirit.

Our therapeutic experience will be a more interactive one.

In addition to working with clients around traditional counseling concerns such as depression, grief, loss, anxiety, stress, and addiction, I also focus on other challenges clients face.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who received my advanced clinical training working with adolescents, children and families at the Yale Child Study Center, a department of Yale University Medical School in New Haven, Connecticut.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. Our experiences in life although similar are still very individual and unique to each of us. It is normal to experience anxiety, fear, anger and sorrow however; when these emotions are extreme they can prevent us from being fully alive, spontaneous and joyful. It is during these times we may need assistance to better understand ourselves and make necessary changes. I commonly treat individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties that successfully resolve the issues causing these symptoms.

I bring over 25 years of clinical experience in both inpatient psychiatric settings and outpatient settings that have included mental health agencies and an expanding private practice.

I offer treatment using insight enhancing, behavioral and cognitive therapies; as well as spirituality and systems theory approaches to address mood, situational, self-esteem, loss, and relationship problems. I see clients in individual, couple, and family modalties, and am available to faciltate interventions for significant others.
