Greetings. I am a professional counselor with over 18 years experience working in the areas of grief, trauma, anticipatory grief, caregiver stress, end of life issues, depression, life changes, stress, and chronic illness. I am certified as a grief counselor (GC-C) and as a grief counselor specializing in children and adolescents (GCCA-C). I am committed to assisting you with identifying the changes you want in your life and then exploring different strategies to help you achieve your goals.
I would describe my approach to therapy as eclectic. I work with the individual to find the approach that best meets their needs and work to provide the tools that are needed to effect change and promote growth.
Finally, I view the therapeutic alliance as a partnership requiring mutual trust, respect, honesty, communication, and commitment to do the work.
Hopefully, what I have shared here will help you choose a therapist that best meets your needs. Should you choose me, I look forward to our journey together.

I can’t say enough good things about my therapist. From the very first session, I felt truly heard and understood. She creates such a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space that makes it easy to open up and work through challenges. Her insights and guidance have been incredibly helpful, and I’ve noticed a real difference in how I navigate life because of our sessions.

The best thing I’ve ever done for myself is starting therapy. I’m thankful I was referred to BetterHelp because I don’t think I could’ve found a therapist more perfect for me and my needs. Sheryl is very attentive and I can tell she truly cares about me as a patient. The way she uses her own personal experiences makes me feel at ease in knowing I’m not alone in my struggles. I’m thankful for the past few months and excited to continue my mental health journey with Sheryl as my therapist

Sheryl is amazing and helped me unravel some challenging emotions and preconceptions I’ve carried with me through life. I appreciated her sage wisdom, kind questioning, and amusing Sheryl-isms (ie “society ain’t the boss of me” and “don’t double dose on anxiety”) that I’ll carry with me in my healing journey.

I've only had one session with her but she listened to me much longer than the allotted time. She really hasn't had the opportunity to make a course of action as we only met once. I can give a better review after a few more sessions.
Written on Jul 13, 2023 after therapy with Sheryl for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and compassion fatigue
I appreciate Sheryl much more than she probably knows. She’s understanding and supportive, while still being observant of ways that I can improve — which I appreciate. I started therapy with the goal of creating healthy (yet necessary) boundaries, learning how to better my relationships with family members, and developing the unique habits to MAINTAIN all these tools. Sheryl has genuinely helped me tackle all of these things, and I’m so excited to continue my sessions with her.

I have been working with Sheryl for almost a year now and she is truly fantastic! She has been helping me through some major life decisions. She has a way to pinpoint the core issues, and offer her guidance in a very compassionate, soothing and sometimes funny way. Whenever I needed support in between sessions, she has been quick to respond. I really appreciate her support (and sense of humor). Give her a try!

Sheryl has a way of listening to your concerns, your fears and feelings - raw, messy and all over the place and then summarizing the main issue into actionable items you can work on, or suggestions to view it in a different light. Speaking to Sheryl always makes me feel better and hopeful i can change.

She is professional and displays compassion yet doesn’t shy away or beat around the bush. She addresses the problem while it comes up. She is patient and really listens, not like other therapist, she really hears you. She has been a great help and for the first time in a long while I actually look forward to my session rather than dread it. I already feel like we have made progress and I have great faith in her

I was sceptacle to join Better Help. I've been going to therapists for many years and I have tools to cope with anxiety and PTSD but this last traumatic life experience left me needing a professional. I was paired with Sheryl. She taught me new ways on overcoming my PTSD. She listened to every detail and had feedback. I am able to use the techniques she's shown me to overcome my PTSD. She has knowledge of many new and upcoming therapies. I will recommend her to anyone who is having issues with PTSD! She also helps with day to day dilemmas. She takes the time to get to know you and actually listens! Which is hard to find nowadays. Sheryl is a great therapist and I look forward to our talks!

Sheryl is amazing! We have only had a few sessions together so far, but she is already helping me to make improvements. I am trying to treat myself better, and she is incredible at encouraging me to stay confident and be proud of my successes rather than beating myself up even more over any negatives. We have just scratched the surface of the things I want to work through. I am really looking forward to diving even deeper into identifying my triggers and coming up with ways of overcoming them with Sheryl's help. She is so attentive in our video calls and sends me messages occasionally throughout the week to check in. She really helps me to feel encouraged to get back on track if I fall off a bit.
