Hi there, I'm Cheri!

I am a passionate mental health counselor dedicated to helping others navigate life's challenges. With a Master's degree in Counseling from Grand Canyon University, I specialize in addressing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, and depression.

My approach

My therapeutic approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I tailor my methods to each individual's unique needs.

My focus

I work with individuals and couples. Additional areas of expertise include behavioral issues, trauma, PTSD, suicidal ideation, stress, spirituality, and self-esteem.

My communication style

You can expect an empathetic, collaborative, and strengths-based style in our work together. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to mental healthcare began with a deep desire to make a positive difference in people's lives. Pursuing a Master's in Counseling at Grand Canyon University from 2013-2017 provided me with the knowledge and skills to fulfill this calling. From 2017-2020, I completed my clinical hours to become a licensed counselor.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you with the insights and coping strategies to overcome obstacles, enhance your well-being, and lead a more fulfilling life. Whether you are facing a current crisis, unresolved pain from the past, or seeking personal growth, I am here to support you every step of the way.

My first session with you

During our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and begin to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. I will listen intently to understand your perspective, gather relevant history, and collaboratively establish goals to guide our work. You can ask any questions you may have about the therapy process. Together, we will create a safe, supportive space to foster healing and growth at a pace that feels right for you.
