The search for a therapist can be intimidating, as you are choosing someone with whom to share your most intimate thoughts and feelings. It's not easy to choose, but I wanted to share a bit about myself to help you see if we might be the right fit. I'm probably not exactly what you think of as a therapist, as I am a former airborne soldier with the United States Army. I'm not the prim and proper, super put together therapist who just tells you everything will be alright, (though it will)! Instead, I'm the a therapist who walks beside you on your journey to see things differently, make changes in your life, and advocate for yourself.

I specialize in working with women with ADHD and those struggling with anger, irritability, and emotion regulation. I incorporate mindfulness and radical acceptance into my therapeutic approach, which helps clients feel better about themselves and gain more control. I see therapy as tapping into your inner strength. Looking inward isn't always easy, so I partner with your intuition, self-compassion, and humor to help you embody your best self. Together, we create a safe space for you to explore your experiences, understand your inner self, and learn practical coping strategies.

Now offering FREE Couples Checkup Assessment with the pre-purchase of four 60-90 minute couples sessions. I love to work with couples and adult individuals. I specifically enjoy working with people who are at a transitional point in their life-whether that’s adjusting to a new baby, a new career, a divorce, a new relationship, children growing up, or just simply adjusting to a new understanding of themselves and others. Growth can be incredibly painful and it is helpful to have someone to help support you as you walk through it.

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 have been in private practice for over 17 years. I work with people who are dealing with Anxiety and depression disorders. During the time in private practice, I stared to see more adolescent clients. I believe that my experience in music and athletics have helped me in developing a rapport with the adolescent population. I became extremely interested in psychology in sports, and the impact the mental game can have on an athletic performance. I enjoy helping athletes improve their mental game and getting the best performance they can on a consistent basis. I also offer neurofedback to those who want an alternative to medicine.

Hi There! I'm passionate about working with adolescents and adults. I specialize in working with individuals living with anxiety- and have a special interest in social anxiety. Social anxiety can be isolating, lonely, and often causes us to live in intense fear of being negatively evaluated in social situations.

Do you feel like you are just going through the motions of your life? Maybe you can't relax and your thoughts go a mile a minute....or you feel distant and cut off from the people around you. You may even struggle with feeling numbed out or feeling everything all at once. Chances are you've got chronic illness, pain, or your body just feels like your own worst enemy. If this resonates, I'd bet you are navigating a significant trauma or loss. I know first hand how hard it can be to reach out and find help; I am SO glad you are here.
