LMFT, 15 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Hello. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) located in CA and I have been practicing for over 15 years. I work with adults who are seeking help with depression and anxiety (as well as other diagnoses), and individuals who are experiencing major life changes and/or relationship issues. I work in collaboration with each client and provide a safe environment to help them learn effective ways to communicate, positive coping skills, and ways to engage in self-care.
In our first session, I want to learn about you as an individual and to explore what you would like to work on in therapy. This will allow us to work together in creating a plan to work on in follow-up sessions.
I am an experienced and caring therapist who genuinely likes to help others and to see them grow.
I enjoy working with adults who are struggling in some capacity and who are open to make changes. Many times clients do not have the necessary tools to make these changes and often feel overwhelmed and anxious. I provide a safe environment to help each individual feel heard.
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I work with clients to help them recognize and change unhealthy thoughts and behaviors in order to decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Often clients feel stuck in the past and/or are worried about the future. With mindfulness-based therapy I assist clients to focus on the here and now.
I provide education to clients on a number of topics, such as: positive coping skills, sleep hygiene, self-care techniques, increasing self-esteem, gratitude and mindfulness.

Cheri has been amazing! I started off very guarded and didn’t think meeting with her could help my situation. Now I look forward to our sessions. It is so easy to open up to her and truly feel like she listens. She is open-minded and gives me a lot of new ways to think about things. She was able to help me reflect on how I was thinking about things and what I was judging myself for. With Cheri’s support along with a lot of hard work, My anxiety and depression hardly show up anymore 😊

I've been working with Cheri for months now and she feels like a warm hug every week. Therapy is really scary but Cheri creates an environment where you are uplifted and assured in your thoughts. Best therapist I have ever had.

Cheri makes opening up and speaking on sensitive topics extremely easy with her personality. She does challenge your way of thinking and has helped me tremendously thus far through our conversations. Feels more like conversation than therapy. Think she’s excellent at what she does. Would Highly recommend her
