Welcome! I am Cheryl, a dedicated psychotherapist who believes in the power and potential of every individual. My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that individuals are doing the best they can with what they know. Maya Angelou said it best, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”

My approach is primarily mindfulness and strength-based which means I focus on bringing individual strengths to light so individuals can use their strengths to overcome current challenges. This happens primarily through reflective mindfulness. By incorporating Motivational Interviewing, I strive to support and empower individuals to navigate their own journeys, fostering autonomy and self-efficacy.

In our work together, I embrace the principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These approaches allow us to explore the various parts of your inner world, understanding and integrating them in a way that promotes healing and growth. I believe in walking beside you, providing a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can explore, discover, and thrive.

A metaphor that encapsulates my therapeutic philosophy is that of us walking together in a forest. As we move forward, I help clear branches so you can see different paths ahead. You choose the path, you navigate your obstacles, you decide where we go depending on what feels right for you. Each step is taken at your own pace, while I follow closely, ready to support and guide you as needed.

I am here to help you recognize and harness your innate strengths and competencies. Together, we will uncover the paths that lead you to where you want to be, always honoring your autonomy and personal journey.

Let’s walk this path together, embracing each step as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.
