About me

EMDR Therapist

Hello! My name is Cheryl and
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the helping profession. I am also an ACE Certified Health Coach.

The modality of therapy that I use is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a specialized, structured form of therapy that helps provide relief from trauma and difficult past situations that remain unresolved. EMDR therapy has significant scientific evidence to prove its effectiveness.
A good candidate for this therapy is one who commits to weekly sessions, is not actively abusing any drugs or alcohol, and is not experiencing suicidal thoughts or have a history of suicide attempts. (Please note that those who do CAN benefit from EMDR in face-to-face sessions not virtual).

I consider myself to be open, honest, and non-judgmental and believe that a sense of humor is an essential component of dealing with life’s challenges (and like to sprinkle a little of this into sessions every now and then!)

I’m originally from Upstate New York and have lived in the Southeast the past 19 years. I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the State University of New York at Oneonta and have also received advanced training in health coaching, mindfulness, and EMDR

I look forward to working with you!
