More about Sherry
- 37 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I've been guiding patients and couples toward emotional well-being for over 38 years. Kindness, compassion, and a capacity for deep listening allows for the co-creation of a secure therapeutic alliance and an emotionally satisfying relationship. Together we'll identify interpersonal difficulties and negative emotional patterns. Building upon your unique individual history, we'll construct a coherent personal narrative that brings meaning and understanding to your life.
This enriching relational process enables you to adapt to life's challenges, become emotionally resilient, and deeply connect with yourself and others.
Working one-on-one with hundreds of adult, young adults and couples, has enabled me to understand and assess the unique needs of each of my patients.
Incorporating current advances in neuroscience and attachment theory, I utilize contemporary relational methods to effectively help my patients successfully navigate life's complex ebb and flow.
I also have extensive experience helping couples to develop the skills necessary to sustain a healthy, long term relationship. By exploring individual and shared histories, partners learn to understand each other in new and unexpected ways; a process that heals old wounds, while creating functional systems that promote mature emotional intimacy.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
