Hello ! I am licensed in Michigan with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I provide an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines several modalities with the bases in cognitive behavioral work and person centered care. Your treatment plan will be created to meet your unique and specific needs. Again, I am here to support you in that process. I encourage you to this a try.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Sherry is amazing and has been such a God send to me.....she has helped me with my covid longhaulers brain with common sense ideas and things that i can actually use when I get overwhelmed!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone I know that needs help!!! I will miss our sessions!!!
This is the best experience I’ve ever had in therapy. Sherry is knowledgeable and it almost seems like you’re talking to a mom or a best friend who actually has the tools to help you. She is also extremely honest and does not provide things for you to do that are not helpful.
She’s wonderful. I feel comfortable talking to her.
Chatting with Sherry is very comforting. Exactly what I needed.
My time with Sherry had been great. She helped me get to a place where I saw things from a different perspective. I’m indeed grateful for the times spent with her.
Sherry is great!! She uses Bible verses in our sessions that I really appreciate and she has given me several ideas to use when I get anxious that has been very helpful!! She is very caring and understanding and I really enjoy working with her!!
Sherry is definitely being used by God in a mighty way. I appreciated having a therapy experience in which I was able to be uplifted spiritually. She is understanding, and very inviting. She makes you feel like you’re talking to a friend but she helps you be accountable. I’m forever grateful for her help
The best therapist I ever had!! Sherry is amazing. She is very kind, respectful and attentive. I have tried 3 different therapists before and almost lost faith in therapy, but I'm glad I decided to keep trying and was lucky enough to find Sherry. She is a rare gem. Unlike others she doesn't expect me to always know what to talk about, which alleviates a lot if anxiety for me. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat! (As long as it doesn't make her schedule too busy and she doesn't get stolen from me
From the start Sherry was a great fit for me, I look forward to our next session
