About me
Welcome! I was once taught that a person’s mental health improves just by taking the initial steps to schedule a therapy appointment. You are taking the first step towards making lasting change. As a licensed clinical social worker, I recognize your story matters and I want to provide you with a secure, caring environment where you can process your feelings, work towards your personal goals and gain practical tools to launch you to new perspectives. My specialties include trauma, emotional regulation, depression, and anxiety while processing your unique stressors. Each of us is impacted by our experiences, life choices, and families and our unique stories mold us. It would be my honor to meet with you and help you unpack and build skills to reach your goals.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
From the start of the therapy experience, I want you to share your story with me and I want to get to know you and your goals in therapy. From there, we will work together to develop a plan of action based on your goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Having so many years of experience in working with a variety of ages and backgrounds, I am able to build rapport with my clients and to utilize many different therapy techniques to propel you to your goals and a healthier life.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma and clients who desire to work on managing their emotions and life-experiences more effectively. I believe that people have gone through difficult times either due to their own decisions or the actions of others and oftentimes having a safe place to process these experiences can make all of the difference.

My treatment methods
Faith based therapy
As a Christian, I respect each client for their own belief system. When a client comes to me and desires to incorporate their faith into the therapy experience, I am equipped to utilize faith-based principals to propel client towards their goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are intertwined and learning to recognize thinking patterns is the beginning of managing emotions and behaviors.
Couples Counseling
Counseling couples has been a passion of mine. Helping couples reduce conflict, build positive experiences and better communication skills is the start of moving the relationship to a healthier point.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I have experience working with multiple clients as they process trauma. Using TFCBT principles, the client will build coping skills, gain education on the impact of trauma, and actively work through their trauma experiences towards healing.
Grief Therapy
Providing a safe environment for processing grief can be an important step towards healing. Everyone experiences grief differently and I have several years of experience in supporting clients through grief.

I sought out a tgerapist qho had experience in marriage abd family counseling as well as childhood trauma. I am having real trouble in my marriage and navigating next steps is where I looked for guidance. Sheryl was a great listener and picked up on the questions I needed answers to. She gave wise guidance without being pushy or judgemental. I will book woth her again.
