Hello and Welcome! My name is Cheryl and I'm excited you're here. Just a few things about me to help us get acquainted. I’m blessed to be mother to 3 sons, a four legged pup, and grandmother to 4. My interests include most anything that includes family, friends, nature, animals, learning, and serving. Taking a non traditional path to where I am first as an educator and then counselor, I’ve been fortunate to work with many wonderful people along the way and in varied ways from groups, families, couples, and Individuals. I've learned much along the way from each person I've partnered with on their journey to their best self. The most important thing I've learned through the twisting path I've taken individually, and with the client's I have served, is we are all unique and the key to happiness is finding it first in ourselves. I look forward to walking with you along your path to happiness!

I present therapeutic modalities to help you resolve trauma, build self-esteem, or cope with depression. I utilize Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I take a strengths-based and Jungian approach, using archetypes and synchronicities to help you find deeper meaning. Growing up in a dysfunctional household and struggling with mental health, I searched for help. I found a therapist who listened and held space for my pain. Through understanding myself and my environment, I gained power to change my perspective and destiny. I wanted to help others reach the same empowerment.

I also use Narrative Therapy to help you re-author your story—one that highlights your resilience, strengths, and growth.

Does anxiety feel like it's running the show — dread about school, shutting down under pressure, or snapping over things that seem small from the outside? Or maybe you're an adult who's still carrying patterns from a childhood that asked too much of you too soon. Either way, you're not imagining it, and you don't have to figure it out alone. Hi, I'm Tasha! I'm a licensed therapist (M.Ed., LPCMH) who loves working with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, anger, and emotional regulation, plus big life transitions — new schools, family disruption, or rebuilding footing after foster care, kinship care, or time in a restrictive or alternative setting. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 15+ years working inside schools alongside teens and families going through exactly these moments — including many navigating foster or kinship care, or returning to school after a hospitalization or placement change. I'm also trained in trauma-focused clinical evaluation, so I bring real depth to how trauma shows up — not just as sadness, but as shutdown, defiance, or a short fuse that doesn't fade with age. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and practical. I like giving people real tools they can actually use — not just talking about feelings, but building skills that stick. If your story includes foster care, kinship care, or getting back to life after time away, that's not something I just accept — it's work I know well and care deeply about. If you want a therapist who gets both the systems you've navigated and the healing work that comes after, I'd love to be part of your team.
