Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Sherrie, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker committed to creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered. My work is grounded in mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and cultural humility.

In addition to my clinical training, I bring lived experience to my work. I’m a micro preemie mom to a NICU graduate, the daughter of refugee parents, and someone who grew up on an apple farm, where I learned the value of perseverance through long hours of hard work. I’ve also experienced traumatic grief and loss; these parts of my story shape my deep empathy and connection with those navigating pain, uncertainty, and transition.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, life changes, identity, or loss, I’ll walk alongside you as we explore what’s underneath and support your healing and growth.

My approach to therapy

I am committed to empowering individuals through therapy, helping you navigate your ‘lived experiences’ with acceptance, understanding, and grace. Therapy, first and foremost, is a way to relieve that sense of aloneness and form a trusting, collaborative relationship with someone who accepts you just as you are.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to guide you on a journey of personal growth, healing, and change, while providing a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and safe space that encourages curiosity and mindfulness as you embrace your unique path to wellness.
