Great to meet you!

Greetings, I am Sherile (pronounced 'Cheryl') and welcome to choosing you! Licensed since 2004, I have had an extensive career addressing the behavioral and emotional needs of individuals in various settings. From education to non-profit organizations, I landed in private practice and have not looked back!

You are not alone. We work together on your way to maximizing your full potential. Shall we begin?

My approach to therapy

Though skilled in many strategies and theories, I am a client-centered therapist at heart. My belief is by creating and maintaining a safe space for you as we grow trust fosters the atmosphere needed to 'do the work.' Sometimes our work is calm, lighthearted. Other times may be more direct and challenging as we move toward replacing self-defeating behaviors with positive changes and balanced independence. Stay with it! The best way to accomplish a goal - don't stop. We work on good days, bad days; flaws and all.

What you can expect from me

We do a brief check-in each session (similar to a temperature check.) Reviewing your sleep pattern, any appetite fluctuations and the like are essential to overall well-being and can provide valuable clues to your experience. I rely on you to share what you wish to achieve. Together, we create specific yet realistic outcomes (goals). Afterall, a goal with no deadline is just a dream.
