People come to therapy looking for unconditional positive regard. People want understanding and support. A person wants to know they are not alone and that can turn to someone who can help them walk through the various struggles of life whether it’s a job loss, marital issue, struggle with a teenager or being a single parent. To have this type of therapist, will give them the support they need to face life’s challenges and help them gain a better understanding of their behaviors and feelings. People also want honest feedback so they can progress towards their goals with clarity and conviction. Sheri has worked with children, adolescents, adults and families for 20 years.

Sheri’s approach is exactly what I need. She lets me take the lead as she guides me with her knowledge of information at the same time to not overwhelm me. I trust her and feel very comfortable.
