Hello, I'm Cheri. With 20 years of experience working across different cultures around the world, I bring a rich and diverse perspective to my practice. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My journey in mental health has taken me to various corners of the globe, including significant work in Africa where I collaborated with organizations to develop support groups and training programs for women emerging from human trafficking situations. This experience has deeply informed my understanding of resilience and the power of community support in healing. In my practice, I utilize a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. I have extensive experience in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), both of which are effective in addressing a variety of mental health challenges. Additionally, I incorporate equine therapy for individuals who have experienced trauma, as I believe in the profound healing connection between humans and animals. I specialize in working with clients dealing with Borderline Personality Disorder, multicultural and diversity issues, perinatal support, sex and intimacy issues, suicidal ideation, trauma, PTSD, adolescent and teen mental health, family relationships, anxiety, addiction, ADHD, bipolar disorder, children's mental health, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, grief, LGBTQIA+ support, intimate relationships, life transitions, spirituality, and stress. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. Together, we will work towards your goals, whether it's overcoming a specific challenge, improving your relationships, or finding greater meaning and purpose in your life. Outside of my professional life, I am passionate about cultural exchange and learning from different perspectives. I believe that our diverse experiences enrich our understanding of ourselves and others. If you're ready to embark on a journey of healing and growth, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to create the change you seek.
