New to Grow
I'm Sheri, and I'm dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of individuals and families through compassionate counseling. With years of experience in the fields of mental health and personal development, I've had the privilege of guiding numerous clients toward healing, growth, and fulfillment. With a background in mental health counseling, coaching, and education, I bring a unique perspective to my practice. My training has equipped me with a deep understanding of psychological principles and therapeutic techniques to address a wide range of concerns, including behavior challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, emotional regulation, self-worth and parenting support among many other topics.
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, compassionate space where you are truly heard without judgment. We'll take time to explore what is bringing you in, at your pace, with empathy and care. Together. we'll begin clarifying what you're hoping for from therapy and start building a trusting relationship that supports your growth. My goal is to understand your unique story and collaborate with you on meaningful goals that matter to you.
What stands out most in my work is my compassionate presence where you are truly seen and supported. Through the variou therapuetic modalities I am trained in, I guide you to gain clarity, process emotional pain and develop lasting tools for growth. Whether we are working through anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges or life transitions, I tailor therapy to yoru individual needs and goals, always with the result of fostering healing, insight and authentic connection.
I specialize in working with adults, children, and families facing those range of challenges. My approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, creating a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. My counseling services help clients rebuild self-esteem and develop healthier relationships through EMDR, CBT, EFT, Mindfulness and Play Therapy. We address negative belief systems and self-talk. I provide the support and tools you need for a positive perspective and a more fulfilling life.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desemsitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps people process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. It uses guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation while you briefly focus on the memory, which helps reduce its emotional intensity. Over time, this allows the brain to reporcess the memory in a healthier way, reducing symptoms like anxiety or flashbacks.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) helps clients by identifying and challenging unhelpful thougths and beliefs that contribute to emotional distress and problematic behaviors. Through structured techniques, clients learn to replace negative thinking patterns with more balanced ones and develop practical coping skills. This leads to lasting changes in how they feel, behave and respond to life's challenges.
EFT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, helps clients by identifying, exploring, and transforming negative emotional patterns - especially in relationships. It focuses on strengthening emotional bonds by helping clients express vulnerable feelings and unmet attachments needs in a safe, supportive environment. This leads to deeper connection, improved communication and more secure, resilient relationships with self and others.
