I graduated with a Master's Degree in 2011 and a PhD in 2021. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida with expertise in marriage and relationship issues. It is truly a privilege when someone trusts me with their heart, with their emotions, with their story. Unfortunately, sometimes, terrible things happen to people and they just need someone to talk to about it. There are probably things you have never told anyone else in the world. Who can you tell? People may say it’s your fault or criticize you, instead of just listening and being understanding. I acknowledge that for some, it may take a lot to open up to someone you don't know. You can feel safe sharing your story with me. I am here to support you every step of the way and it would be an honor for me to hear about what’s going on in your life. From I was a little girl, people would tell me their stories. Listening has always come naturally for me and I really do care about people. So from I was very young I knew I wanted to be a counselor and I am excited about the opportunity to do what I am passionate about--meet you and support you on life's journey. I come from a strengths-based perspective and take a person-centered approach. I will validate your experiences and you will feel heard. My goal is to help you feel empowered as we focus on the strengths you already have and build from there. I believe in you. And I believe you can. We all need hope. I am here to help you restore your hope. Thank you for the opportunity to listen to your story.

I’ve really enjoyed my time working with Cherelle. She is really friendly, knowledgable and professional. I struggle with low-self esteem and self worth and she focuses on my strengths and gives me helpful tools to use in my everyday life. I was having a hard time dealing with trauma in my life but I have made alot of progress in the past couple months with Cherelle as my counsellor.

Cherelle is a fantastic and uplifting therapist and her support was invaluable to me during a big transition in my life. I can’t thank Cherelle enough for her support and belief in me throughout this process. I’m now much stronger and confident to begin a new chapter in my life.

Cherelle has been very supportive and understanding of my feelings and situation. She always asks great questions and gets me to think about things from different perspectives. She is also very responsive to my messages. I would definitely recommend her.

I’ve been talking to many counselors in better help, but so far Cherelle was the first one I felt so comfortable with. I’ve told my story couple of times before but never felt that welcome. We weren’t even in session, but just in simple messaging. She took time and attention for me till the late night. I’m very thankful already, although it has been only our first meeting. But such emotional and involved response feels very good and comforting. And gives hopes for better. Thank you ❤️
