My approach integrates a variety of therapy modalities to support individuals in overcoming challenges related to substance abuse, trauma, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues and transgender-related issues.
Having personally experienced the transformative power of therapy, I understand how difficult it can be to take that first step toward healing. I want to give back what was so generously given to me by others who took a chance on my growth. My own journey has made me even more committed to supporting those who are ready to make changes in their lives. Therapy is a big step, and I deeply admire anyone who is seeking help. I am here to walk with you on your path to recovery, healing, and self-discovery. Together, we can work toward your goals and help you move forward in your personal journey. I am honored to be a part of that process

Not accepting new clients as of 10/10/24. I specialize in gender and sexuality, with over 8 years experience serving my LGBTQIA+ community. I feel strongly that shared experience helps people feel safe and seen in the therapy room. Using a relational approach, I believe that majority of therapeutic healing happens with human connection. This means I show up authentically with my clients. You can expect accountability as well as empathy. I engage in the therapy conversation to allow reflection of your emotions. My specialization in queer matters is combined with treatment of complex trauma, mood, and personality disorders.

You have tried the discipline, the goal setting, the "fake it til you make it," the busyness, the books, the podcasts, the rigidity, the perfection, the formulas, the positivity, and yet you still feel stuck and without hope. ‘Is this really what life is going to be like forever?” you ask quietly to yourself. Dear soul, it is time to return home. To learn to breath, rest, and attune all in the safety of your own body. Together we will make room for the thinking, feeling, and sensing body to emerge. It's time to plant roots in the goodness of your body, your "youness" and the wisdom already blooming within you.

How are you today? Really, how are you? Browsing these pages can be overwhelming – the unfamiliar words, the multitude of smiling faces.

My name is Cherise (she/her) and I am an LPC-Associate. This means that I have the education and experience to have a provisional license to counsel, but must do so under supervision. You not only have a qualified therapist, you also have a second, more experienced therapist behind the scenes.

In my experience, I've found that people come to therapy when they are in a crisis situation or encounter something that seems too overwhelming to face on their own. I approach my work in a collaborative way that promotes self-awareness, understanding, support and discovery, promoting safety and understanding. By focusing strengths, I hope to assist my clients in finding healthy ways to cope with stressors, achieve desired changes, better understand how they relate to others and the world, develop personal potential and empower in a gentle, purposeful manner.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
