I’m a Florida-licensed therapist with more than 25 years of real clinical experience, offering warm, practical online therapy from the comfort and privacy of wherever you are.
If you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship struggles, family tension, past trauma, grief, a major life transition, or that heavy sense of being overwhelmed and stuck — I’m here to help with proven, compassionate tools tailored specifically to you.
You’ll have a safe, completely non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are and feel truly heard and respected, no matter your background, beliefs, or life story.

Written on Feb 19, 2023 after therapy with Cheryl for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and coaching
When I joined BetterHelp, I was very skeptical about starting therapy based on the prior experience I had. My prior therapy experience was my own monologue with a therapist who occasionally nodded his head, asked me how something made me feel, and told me what a great job I did analyzing the situation. I got nothing out of it.
I'd watch movies where they'd portray therapists having a dialogue with their patient and sharing some mind-blowing deep ideas. "I wish I could experience something like that" I thought. "Meh, only in the movies."
My wish was granted with Cheryl. What I loved about her is that she is straightforward. And she is deep. And she is real.
I'm a deep individual, so I'm not looking for anything superficial to make sure that my feelings don't get hurt. We all have problems and I think its safe to say that we're looking for solutions to them, that's why we're in therapy.
Cheryl helped me reconnect with my feminine power and I was able to turn my life around. Keep in mind, you're responsible for turning your life around, not your therapist. They can put you on the right track and that, in itself, is tremendous.

Written on Dec 07, 2022 after therapy with Cheryl for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, career difficulties, and coping with life changes
Cheryl helped me through a difficult time, which I am very grateful for. She provided me with several tools to manage my anxiety and impulsive behavior. They are easy to use and if I practice them, they work!
However, I didn’t find our sessions to be conducive for my long term mental health. She became judgemental of my partner and didn’t seem neutral to the situation.
For me, Cheryl was able to help me through acute anxiety, but I didn’t find her techniques effective for relationship issues. To be fair, I had only sought her help for the anxiety, not relationship help.
Written on Dec 04, 2022 after therapy with Cheryl for 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, career difficulties, and coaching
Cheryl has been amazing and provides extremely helpful feedback. She is not at all judgemental or impatient with me and my explanations and questions. She is kind and reaches out often. She reached out to check on me for the anniversary of my dads passing, remembering when it was. It meant so much to me that she paid attention and cared enough to reach out first.

Cheryl's guidance, kindness, intelligence, and responsiveness has changed me as a person. Slightly last the 6 month mark, I can confidently say I behave, respond, and regard life differently, with confidence and trust in myself. Cheryl's impact on my relationship to my family has caused a ripple effect of positive outcomes to them as well, and healed things I didn't even realize were impacting me in other realms of my life. I feel clear, confident, and ready to take on all sorts of things, as well as understand and forgive myself and others, thanks to Cheryl's incredible insights, resources, and sessions. I have had many therapists in my life, but she is by far the most genuine, impactful, and kind one I've ever known: she is gold.
