About Me

I have been practicing as a mental health counselor for over 20 years, wearing many hats as a mental health counselor, counseling center director, clinical supervisor, and teaching college-level human development courses. I have also served as a domestic violence advocate and college instructor within the Department of Corrections.

I have expertise in not only addressing mental health concerns, such as depression, anxiety, and managing transitions and adjustments, but also relationship dynamics, parenting at any stage, and phase of life transitions — for both men and women. I am well trained and experienced to also assist with career exploration, development, and decision making — whether it’s the beginning of your career, your next career opportunity or shift, or retirement. I have specialized training in working with veterans and first responders. I also support many clients with their use of GLP-1s. 

My approach is cognitive behavioral, narrative, and interpersonal. We all have our own strengths and areas for development, and I help you to be an observer in your own experience, to gain awareness and insight about the stories we all tell ourselves, and how to learn to be comfortable with the uncomfortable — which WILL support your personal growth!

I am part of a blended family, with our oldest out of state and living the life of a 20-something, enjoy date night with my partner, and I learn something almost every day while supporting our youngest through college. I spend my free time reading, cooking, camping, being near the water, fantasizing about owning a B & B, and planning my next getaway.

I look forward to meeting you — and hope to become a person you trust to accept, hear, and understand you.

Be well. — Sheryl
