About me

HI,
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social worker in the Southern California area. For almost 28 years I have worked with people who need extra help to get through tough situations. I have numerous areas of specialty and use techniques that I believe will best fit each client. I am committed to helping people heal, grieve and help people get through periods of crisis in their lives - either expected or unexpected. I want you to feel comfortable with yourself and rise to your full potential. I have worked with children, adults, couples and families as they navigate obstacles and together we create solutions.

I strive to create a warm and friendly and supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. I believe the safety of the therapeutic re; relationship allows you to engage in a meaningful exploration of the issues that are impacting your wellbeing. Therapy is a collaborative process and my role is to empower you to reach your goals.

I look forward to working together and creating new possibilities.

I have been working with Sheri for several years, and together we’ve worked hard, and I have drastically changed my life for the better. She is compassionate and gentle. She gets to know her clients and really understands what they need in the moment. It has been amazing to work with her, she pushes when appropriate, but never too hard. I came to her in pieces, I’ve experienced extreme loss during our time working together, and she has seen me through it. I have found so much peace since working with her, she helped me find my way back to me. She is currently helping me tackle some really big issues that I haven’t even been able to look at my entire life. It’s scary, but I feel safe because Sheri is helping me through it. She is an amazing therapist and human.
