About Sheri
Sheri has supported individuals facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, ADHD, social communication differences, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on issues such as coping with life changes, self-esteem, family conflicts, mood disorders, and concerns common to young adults and midlife clients. Her additional clinical interests include working with autistic individuals, those affected by cancer or disasters, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and people living with intellectual disability or impulsivity issues.
In her work Sheri draws on a range of therapeutic methods, including client-centered techniques, emotionally-focused therapy, mindfulness practices, psychodynamic perspectives, and solution-focused strategies, tailoring interventions to each person’s goals. She has also spent time supervising social workers and volunteering at camps serving children with serious illnesses and social-emotional needs. Sheri aims to help people identify meaningful goals and learn practical tools and strategies to cope with life’s challenges and improve daily functioning.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the individual’s lead to foster self-awareness and personal growth. It is helpful for people working through self-esteem issues, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in relationships, which can be beneficial for families and individuals coping with attachment-related stress and grief. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills to help manage anxiety, depression, and overwhelming emotions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sheri works collaboratively with each person to explore what methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in treatment - Sheri provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver talk-based work, teach coping skills, and support goal-setting in ways that suit the client’s pace and comfort level.
