Do you feel stuck in areas of your life, unable to move forward? Are you seeking guidance as you try to balance meeting the needs of others with your own? Have you tried counseling in the past and didn't get the results you wanted? As a licensed professional counselor and psychotherapist in practice for over 30 years, Cheryl utilizes evidence-based therapeutic interventions to help her clients with the inevitable disappointments, losses, and ruptured relationships of life.  Her specialties include anxiety and panic disorders, depression, PTSD/trauma, relationship issues, and grief. Often, the issues people seek therapy for are rooted in unresolved childhood complex trauma, and as a certified EMDR practitioner and board certified clinical hypnotherapist, Cheryl understands the importance of changing the brain in order to heal trauma. She utilizes EMDR and hypnotherapy to create change rather than simply helping clients cope. With experience in several counseling approaches, Cheryl teaches her adult male and female clients therapy tools she has refined over the years and experienced in her own healing journey. She integrates mindfulness and breathing techniques into all of her therapeutic work to help clients manage distress and ease tension in the body. She believes the supportive connection created in a therapy relationship should be a collaborative one where clients can change negative beliefs and let go of unhealthy patterns/habits in order to experience more peace and joy in their lives.  Cheryl has a special interest in working with women newly diagnosed with breast cancer as well as young adults in their 20s setting out on their life's journey.

Brokenness and disillusionment in marriage saddens me because I know there is a better way. As a counselor trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Couples Therapy, my passion is to assist in building extraordinary connection between partners who have lost their way to each other's hearts. My practice is all about relationships. In addition to counseling married couples, I help singles understand the importance of discovering and bringing their authentic selves to relationships and the divorced rediscover their voices and significance in the midst of their grief. I also help prepare premarital couples for the uncharted but rewarding journey of marriage. Relationship starts with authentically sharing one's inner world with another person. I seek to come alongside my clients to tackle relational hindrances, such as difficulty truly knowing and accepting one’s self, communication-skill deficits, and distrust related to past traumatic events. I see exploring emotions—past and present—as foundational for growth in individuals as well as couples. My view of the correlation of Biblical truths and sound psychological and communication principles provides an opportunity for progress in life on many levels.

Your mind races with thoughts that begin with What if? Your anxiety gets in the way of your relationships, steals your joy, and limits your potential for happiness at home and at work. Worrying about things you cannot control has become a habit, which is hard to break because you believe that the worry prevents the thing from happening. You worry about your relationships, your family, your kids, and your work. Worry turns to guilt about not doing enough and not being enough. You long to quiet the inner critic, let go of the anxiety, feel like you are enough, and live a more fully engaged and balanced life. Through our collaborative efforts, you will learn the skills you need to conquer your worries and unwanted negative, anxious thoughts, communicate your needs effectively, and overcome feelings of guilt and self-doubt. We will work together to help you enjoy your life and relationships again, live fully in the present, and look forward to your future. As a licensed psychologist for over 15 years, I utilize research-supported interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Using a positive psychology approach, we will identify your strengths and uncover ones you may not even recognize. When nurtured and channeled in the best way, these strengths will help you cope with the past, conquer current fears, and overcome future obstacles on your path. My job is to give you the tools you need to be your own therapist. I am also trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is considered a best practice in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
