Hi! Thanks for stopping in, I'm Cheryl. I am a dedicated and confident counselor with an unwavering commitment to helping individuals overcome mental health challenges and substance use. My journey in the field of recovery began over a decade ago when I made the life-changing decision to embrace sobriety myself. Since then, I have relentlessly pursued my passion for assisting others on their path. I approach every client with empathy and a non-judgmental attitude, fostering a safe and supportive environment. I believe in treating each individual with the respect and dignity they deserve on their journey to recovery.
I have made a significant impact on individuals with dual diagnosis by offering understanding, support, and encouragement. Let me start by educating you about both the mental health and substance abuse issues you may be facing. I will listen attentively without judgment and provide a safe, non-critical space for you to express their thoughts and feelings.
Building empathy involves cultivating a deep understanding and connection with the feelings and perspectives of others. I have learned to develop empathy by actively listening, showing genuine interest in your experiences, and asking open-ended questions to encourage you to share your thoughts and emotions. I have been where you are, let me help.

One of my favorite treatment modalities is Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT)! REBT helps you to focus on critical thinking errors that can allow for a more positive outcome. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways to help you progress. With REBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience.
