In a world where selecting the right therapist can feel like navigating a sea of profiles and introductions, I aim to make your decision easier. I won't bore you with an exhaustive list of my accomplishments; instead, I want to convey the essence of who I am and why I love what I do. I am a therapist who brings both professionalism and a touch of quirkiness to the table. Let's confront obstacles with a sprinkle of humor and a touch of psychoeducation, so we can address issues authentically and learn while we go. It's the "aha" moments and the strength when facing and overcoming challenges that give my work purpose.

Accepting New Clients! Do you find yourself carrying an emotional weight that seems to get heavier each day without really understanding what it is, or why? The tremendous emotional impact of the environmental and societal events over the last couple of years has been staggering. The rollercoaster of emotions that come with the grief of losing what was seen as normal and dependable, can make you feel like your world has been turned upside down.

You’re ready to enjoy deep relationships without your insecurities getting in the way. You’re ready to find meaning.

Hi! I am Sherry. I am a professional counselor licensed in Illinois. I identify as neurodivergent and hope to help others on their journey of self-discovery and fulfillment. As a person who has always felt "different," I am impassioned about helping others who may feel similarly. I feel awareness, increased education and a platform to discuss our strengths and challenges is important and Proser is an opportunity to accomplish this goal.

Are you feeling alone, anxious, or depressed? Are you frustrated and struggling with relationships, caregiving responsibilities, or parenting? Would it feel better to communicate in healthier ways and respond with intention rather than “react-then-regret”? Maybe you’re facing a difficult transition, whether leaving home for the first time, starting a family, navigating midlife changes and responsibilities, or grieving losses. Coping with everyday life can feel complicated even when we’re at our best; other times it can be overwhelming, confusing, and even scary.

It feels hopeless. It is intimidating. It may even feel insurmountable. It is the pain of life, and it is real. But, what if I told you it is not hopeless? That you hold the key to making things better. Seeking help can feel equally daunting, but it is the first step of breaking through the negative cloud of despair. I meet my clients where they are in their life’s journey and I consider myself a “fellow traveler.” I join them it that journey to help them gain insight, to provide perspective, and to collaborate and determine the best course of treatment to regain the direction of their destination.

It can often be a challenge to find a counselor to connect with, to feel comfortable sharing your experiences with and that seem to "get you". We also often want someone that cannot only understand and empathize but also to challenge behaviors/beliefs in a way that help create introspective thought, growth and change. I endeavor to join you on your journey, exploring what you seek, while also embracing the idea that sometimes you just need the ability to share safely and authentically in a supportive environment.
