I see clients with needs involving emotional and mental pain that come from a variety of different pathways, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and trauma. I look to provide the client with evidenced based practices and interventions to allow the client, caregiver, and I to collaborate and determine the best pathway to growth. I see clients ranging in ages, from 3 to adulthood, and I work with relational problems, including families, divorce, blending families, and couples. I start with a Client Centered approach and integrate modalities as necessary to best serve my clients.

The two goals I am passionate about when working with clients are "Being a Catalyst for Change" and "Empowering individuals and families to function in healthier relationships, as well as healthier, happier lives." Too often people walk around numb, fearful and stuck in their lives and relationships. It is my belief that you have the capacity to move towards living an abundant and authentic life. My job is to walk alongside you to challenge and inspire you in your journey.

Are you exhausted by traditional talk therapy? Does it seem like you are retelling the same story over and over? Does it feel like you are stuck & as if you are not making progress? While talk therapy can be helpful when it comes to trauma there are parts of our brain that simply cannot be accessed by talking alone. You deserve to experience healing faster, to spend less time talking about the problems, & to enjoy more time living a life driven by your values not your fears.

I use traditional talk therapy, EMDR, meditation and mindfulness practices, and creative expression to help you cultivate this sense of presence and ownership of your life.
Have you found yourself dealing with experiences, thoughts, emotions, or behaviors that feel out of control or overwhelming? Or maybe you feel stuck living in the past or frozen with fear about the future? You don't have to struggle with this alone. The support of a skilled and empathetic therapist during these times can be invaluable to fostering resilience, meaning, and movement through life. My foremost goal in therapy is creating a safe space to experience empathy and acceptance that fosters the peace and growth you seek. I would be honored to come alongside you on your journey.

In my work, I rely mostly on Mindfulness Meditation, Cognitive Based Mindfulness Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Psychodynamic Interventions .
I work with clients who feel disconnected from others, themselves or life. I specialize in helping people with anxiety, including anxiety caused by trauma, whether it happened recently, in your far past, or both. Psychotherapy starts with the personal connection, so the first step is finding the therapist that is right for you. Once that is achieved, therapy can become a collaborative effort of determining goals, obstacles to reaching those goals, and the best paths forward. Ultimately, finding a therapist that you connect with is the biggest predictor of growth in therapy.

Hey you! I’m sure you've heard sayings that go something like... “We must first fill our own cup before we can take care of anyone else.” Has anyone asked you if your cup is running a little low lately? I’m Cherrelle affectionately known as "Juice". Have you been pouring so much of yourself into your work, family, and friends that you’ve neglected taking care of yourself? Perhaps you haven’t even taken the time to notice you’re running a little low or that you have nothing left to give. How much can you really give to others when you’re, well… empty?

Without conscious awareness, our past can hold us captive but it doesn't have to! Utilizing research-proven therapy techniques, I believe you can break cycles and become the person you were always meant to be. Not in spite of your struggles but actually because of them. That's called post-traumatic growth and I consider it an honor, truly, to walk alongside you on this journey.

Perhaps you've been recently diagnosed with a long term illness or you've had symptoms for so long you don’t recognize yourself anymore. You know these health struggles are somehow behind your depressed and anxious feelings, and you feel alone…like no one understands. Right now, you may have more questions than answers, but one thing you know for sure is that you’d do anything to get your life back. You grieve for the person you used to be and find it hard to imagine yourself living a worthwhile life with this illness trying to drag you down every chance it gets. (Due to demand, I ONLY accept clients with chronic illness concerns)
