Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our initial session will focus on building rapport and understanding what brings you to therapy at this time. I'll gather relevant information about any previous treatment and establish norms for our sessions. Together, we'll work to identify your treatment goals. Don't worry if we don't pinpoint these in our first meeting; we'll have ample opportunity to develop them as we progress.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I've devoted my career to supporting individuals as they navigate challenging social contexts. Through this work, I've honed the essential skills of holding space, acting as a reflective mirror, and serving as a beacon of hope. My approach centers on seeing people holistically, beyond their symptoms, and firmly believing in their capacity to lead fulfilling lives. I'm committed to helping each person realize the life they truly deserve.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I'm deeply grateful for the privilege of accompanying individuals on their life journeys. Whether you're grappling with overwhelming anxiety about the future, battling episodes of depression, or navigating significant life changes, I'm here to support you. My role is to provide a non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your experiences and discover resources to bring more ease into your life.

I'm really grateful I found Cheryllynn. Her warm and professional energy made it really easy to share trauma I haven't said out loud in years. I am looking forward to connecting and building on all our upcoming sessions.
